About us

The critical care team at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital is prepared to help critically ill children return to health. To help young patients recover, Packard Children’s has expanded its PICU bed capacity, made key hires on the critical care team, improved emergency transport capability, and instituted new ways to track patient outcomes. Starting at the bedside, attending physicians collaborate closely with specialty practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, and patients’ families to tailor the care provided to each child. Two attending physicians and two complete medical teams are on the ward at all times. Both teams deal with direct bedside needs, as well as the emotional and social needs that each child and family may confront in the context of critical, life-threatening illness. Patient outcomes are monitored using continuously updated Pediatric Risk of Mortality, or PRISM scores.
