Division of Critical Care Medicine

 

Our Division provides services for two intensive care units – the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (CTICU), an integral part of The Heart Institute.

Our faculty include 16 board-certified pediatric intensivists. Several are double board-certified in anesthesiology in addition to their training in general pediatrics and pediatric critical care.

Research interests within Critical Care Medicine include pulmonary physiology, cardiac disease and medical informatics.

We train Critical Care Fellows and provide extensive training for specialty fellows from other divisions, universities and hospitals.

In addition, we are spearheading an international effort to design and support critical care practice through the Virtual Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (vPICU), with its informatics and telecommunications support for pediatric critical care.
