A Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) provides specialized monitoring and critical care for children with serious illnesses, severe infections, breathing difficulties, injuries, or other conditions requiring intensive medical supervision.

A child may require PICU care when they have a serious or rapidly worsening condition, significant respiratory problems, severe infection, complications after surgery, or another condition requiring continuous monitoring and specialized treatment.

Ventilator support may be considered when a child cannot breathe adequately without assistance. The medical team at Autar Hospital evaluates the child's condition and determines whether ventilator support is clinically appropriate.

Autar Hospital provides continuous monitoring, respiratory support, emergency stabilization, post-operative observation, ventilator support when clinically indicated, and coordinated care from paediatric specialists.

Parents should seek immediate medical evaluation if a child develops severe breathing difficulty, reduced consciousness, seizures, serious injury, persistent deterioration, or other rapidly worsening symptoms. Early assessment can help determine whether intensive care is required.
