About this service
Understanding this service
Paediatric intensive care focuses on children with serious illness or unstable vital signs who need continuous clinical observation. It is a separate care setting from routine paediatric consultation.
When it may be needed
Severe respiratory illness, serious infection, injury or postoperative problems may prompt evaluation for paediatric intensive care. The treating doctor determines admission needs.
Before visiting
Bring the child's relevant history, age, existing prescriptions and investigation reports. Confirm admission and bed arrangements directly with the hospital.
