Clinical Services
The Pediatric Critical Care Unit at The Children's Hospital provides comprehensive services for children with single- or multi-organ system failure, complex severe chronic illness, and for those undergoing solid organ transplantation or recovering from complex cardiac, orthopedic, neurologic or general surgeries.
Care is provided via an integrative approach, utilizing the expertise of pediatric intensivists, anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, and other medical subspecialists, as well as pediatric and subspecialty surgeons. These physicians are assisted by a highly trained and dedicated team of nurses. In addition, a constant presence of pharmacists, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, and social workers allows us to provide the most technologically advanced medical support and service to the sickest children in the Rocky Mountain Region.
Complex therapies including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT), high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), and inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In addition, services and support are provided to active and expanding programs in lung, bone marrow, renal and liver transplantation surgery as well as trauma.
