Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art
medical and surgical care. The unit is staffed by full-time pediatric
critical care physicians and nurses, each certified in Pediatric Advanced
Life Support. Accommodations are made for one parent to remain with the
child overnight.
A step-down unit for children who do not need the Pediatric Intensive Care
Unit, but require close observation and monitoring, is available within
the Pediatric Unit. A wide range of pediatric sub-specialists are available
as needed for consultation. The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Transport
Service is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by calling 1-800-279-CBMC.
