Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

The Pediatric Critical Care Service at the Goryeb Children’s Hospital provides care to infants, children, and adolescents with life-threatening illness and injury. Children are admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), an eight-bed, state-of-the-art unit that allows for continuous monitoring of respiratory, cardiac, and neurological functions. The single patient rooms were created to allow easy access for radiological studies such as x-ray and ultrasound. Computerized equipment allows for instant review of radiologic studies and laboratory test results.

Each child has their own private room with telephones, internet access, televisions, and VCR, CD, DVD and Play Station players. The parents are provided with specially designed Ronald McDonald sleeping rooms that are attached to the PICU. These rooms are equipped with a separate bathroom and shower area. A common waiting room area provides snacks, coffee, juice, television, and a refrigerator.
