Pediatric Critical Care Medicine

At Yale Medicine, we understand how challenging it can be when your child has been diagnosed with a medical condition. Our pediatric critical care team is here to support you with expert care, comfort, and clear communication every step of the way. Our doctors are specialty trained in both pediatrics and critical care medicine, and they work quickly to stabilize, evaluate, and treat infants, children, and teens with life-threatening medical and surgical issues.

We believe that a team approach is essential for the best care. That’s why we work closely with a variety of pediatric and surgical specialists, as well as experts in diagnostic and treatment imaging. This ensures that every aspect of your child’s care is handled with the utmost expertise.

In our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), our dedicated medical and nursing staff are always close by, ready to provide continuous, attentive care. Our multidisciplinary team includes not only pediatric critical care doctors and trainees but also pediatric resident physicians, advanced practice nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, child life specialists, case managers, social workers, and nutritionists. We work together around the clock to ensure your child receives the highest level of care possible as they recover from serious illness, trauma, or surgery.
