Pediatric Critical Care Medicine

Yale Medicine physicians are trained in both pediatrics and critical care medicine, work quickly to stabilize, evaluate, and treat infants, children, and adolescents with life-threatening medical and surgical problems. We collaborate with pediatric and surgical specialists, as well as those in diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, to bring a multidisciplinary approach to critical care.

Our medical and nursing staff are close to our patients at all times. Our multidisciplinary pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) team includes pediatric critical care attending physicians and fellows, pediatric residents, advanced practice nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, child life specialists, case managers, social workers, and nutritionists. The team works around the clock to ensure attentive care to infants, children, and teens recovering from serious illness, trauma, or surgery.
