For the seventeenth in a series of childhood health topic talks hosted by Optimal Care Pediatrics, Dr. Mondesir interviewed Dr. Adalberto Torres, Jr., MD, Nemours Children’s Health System – Division Chief, Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Pediatrics on the topic of, “ When Your Child Needs PICU Services ”. We hope you found the information useful regarding what a PICU is, when children may require the services of a PICU, and what preventive measures can be taken to help minimize the necessity of PICU services (such as preventing drowning accidents). Please see Nemours Just the Facts Water Safety for Kids resource.
