Pediatric intensive care combines pediatrics and critical care principles to stabilize and restore physiology in severely ill children. This textbook covers the assessment and management of respiratory failure, shock, sepsis, neurologic emergencies and multi-organ dysfunction in pediatric patients. It emphasizes age-appropriate resuscitation, ventilatory strategies, hemodynamic monitoring and sedation/analgesia tailored to children. Chapters integrate evidence-based protocols, dosing tables and nursing-care considerations for safe ICU workflows. Multidisciplinary topics—family-centered care, ethical decision-making, and rehabilitation planning—are also discussed. The book serves pediatric residents, intensivists and ICU teams caring for critically unwell children.
