Paediatric Critical Care in Pimpri

At Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital, paediatric critical care is provided for children who are seriously ill and need close monitoring or specialised treatment. This may include children with severe infections, breathing problems, major injuries or complications following surgery.

Our pediatric intensivists assess each child's condition to recommend the level of monitoring and treatment best suited to their needs. Paediatric critical care may include continuous observation, oxygen support, medicines, fluid management, and other treatments guided by the child's response.

Families looking for paediatric critical care in Pimpri can access a dedicated paediatrici intensive care unit (PICU) for children who need close monitoring and specialised treatment. The unit is supported by trained medical and nursing teams, advanced monitoring and diagnostic facilities, and paediatric specialists from different fields. The hospital also provides 24-hour paediatric emergency services and a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for newborns who require intensive medical care.

What is Paediatric Critical Care

Paediatric critical care is specialised medical care for children with a serious illness or injury who require continuous monitoring or treatment. Children in critical condition can experience rapid changes in their health, so close observation and timely medical intervention are important.

Children may need PICU care for severe infections, breathing difficulties, complications after surgery, major injuries or illnesses that affect vital organs. The care provided depends on the child’s age, condition and response to treatment.

Parents concerned about their child's condition should consult our team at the paediatric ICU hospital for a thorough assessment and guidance on next steps.

When Does a Child Need Intensive Care

Not every unwell child requires ICU admission. Some conditions can be managed in a general paediatric ward, while others call for closer monitoring and treatments not available outside intensive care.

A child may need admission to a paediatric ICU in Pimpri Chinchwad when they have:

• Severe respiratory or breathing problems
• Serious infections requiring intensive monitoring
• Complications following major surgery
• Serious injuries or trauma
• Conditions affecting the heart, brain, kidneys, or other vital organs
• Reduced consciousness or seizures requiring close observation
• The need for continuous monitoring after an emergency

The paediatric team assesses each child before deciding whether intensive care is required.

Care Provided in Our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Our pediatric intensive care unit in Pimpri provides continuous observation and medical support for children with serious illnesses. Care depends on the child's condition and may include:

• Continuous Monitoring: Close observation of vital signs and organ function to detect changes early.
• Oxygen and Respiratory Support: Support for children with breathing difficulties, tailored to their condition.
• Medicines and Fluid Management: Treatment prescribed and adjusted based on the child's response to therapy.
• Paediatric Emergency Services: Some children need urgent attention before intensive care is required. ABMH provides 24x7 paediatric emergency services, where the team checks the child's condition, provides initial stabilisation, and decides whether further observation, specialist consultation, hospital admission, or PICU care is needed.
• Neonatal and Paediatric Intensive Care: Newborns and premature babies need specialised care that differs from that required by older children. The NICU provides care for high-risk newborns with support from neonatologists and trained nurses. The PICU cares for older children who need close monitoring and intensive treatment.
• Paediatric Surgical and Post-Operative Care: Some children need intensive monitoring before or after surgery. Our critical care team provides close observation and support for children recovering from major procedures or developing complications requiring additional care.
