Pediatric ICU Solution
What is pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)? The PICU is the section of the hospital that provides sick children with the highest level of medical care. It differs from other parts of the hospital, like the general medical floors, in that the PICU allows intensive nursing care and continuous monitoring of things like heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. The PICU also allows medical staff to provide therapies that might not be available in other parts of the hospital. Some of these more intensive therapies include ventilators (breathing machines) and certain medicines that can be given only under close medical supervision. The difference between NICU and PICU NICU stands for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and is an area of the hospital that specializes solely in the treatment of newborns. PICU stands for Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and is where children are taken when they require the highest level of quality pediatric care. Pigeon Medical can offer the equipment used
