what is a picu hospital
The PICU is a 21 bed combined medical-surgical unit which cares for more than 1500 critically ill children each year. An attending intensivist from the Division of Pediatric Critical Care coordinates all care, in close cooperation with the child's primary pediatrician & medical & surgical subspecialists. Admission to the PICU can be arranged through Pediatric Intensive Care Transport Service at 216-844-1111.
The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Brenner Childrenâs Hospital is the only full-service pediatric center dedicated to caring for very sick or injured infants and children in western North Carolina. Each year, we care for and treat over a thousand children.
