Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)

The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Synphaet Children’s Hospital is equipped to care for critically ill pediatric patients. This includes children experiencing seizures, lethargy, unconsciousness, respiratory distress such as rapid or labored breathing, cyanosis (bluish skin), or airway obstruction caused by mucus. The PICU also treats dengue fever patients with shock or abnormal bleeding.

Specialized pediatric respiratory physicians and critical care nurses closely monitor and provide 24-hour care to ensure the safety and recovery of critically ill children in the ICU.

Synphaet Children’s Hospital offers a dedicated Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) for children in critical conditions or at risk of life-threatening physiological changes. Unlike general ICUs, the PICU specializes in managing pediatric patients aged 4 months to 14 years.

The PICU is staffed 24/7 by pediatric specialists in respiratory care and critical care medicine, along with professional nurses. They provide continuous monitoring and treatment to help critically ill children navigate through their most vulnerable moments safely. This dedicated care reduces the anxiety of parents, knowing that their child is being looked after closely and professionally around the clock.
