The Intensive Care Unit provides care for children in need of continuous monitoring of vital functions and continuous oxygen treatment, permanent infusion, or mechanical ventilation for respiratory support. The most frequent patients are children suffering from severe pneumonia, obstructive bronchitis or asthma attack, pneumonia or asthma complications, cystic fibrosis, immunodeficiencies, heart failure or pulmonary hypertension.
The smooth functioning of the Unit relies on collaboration with the Clinical and Laboratory Diagnostics and Radiology and Ultrasound Units, as well as the Bronchology and Physical and Inhalation Therapy Units.
