Pediatric critical care medicine is the field of medicine dealing with infants, children, and adolescents who require advanced life support and are critically ill. A pediatric critical care physician is a pediatrician who diagnoses, treats and supports patients who may be in an intensive care unit, or who may have multiple organ dysfunction.
Pediatric patients who receive intensive care treatment are usually critically ill children who are treated after major surgery, and require intensive monitoring. The critical care or intensive care pediatric physician may also communicate with the patient’s primary physician and other specialists, and the critical care staff to coordinate treatment and care.
