PEDIATRICS Pediatric ICU The Moncton Hospital's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit provides family-centred care for pediatric patients who require close observation by a multidisciplinary pediatric team. Children requiring care in the Pediatric ICU include those with febrile seizures, new or control crisis diabetics, step-down from the Irving Neurosciences ICU or the Medical/Surgical ICU, babies with bronchiolitis and respiratory difficulties and those with medically complex problems. The three-bed unit, located on the first floor of the hospital, has constant nursing care with a staff to patient ratio of 1:1 or 1:2. Rooms are equipped with pediatric monitoring equipment to aid in the care of seriously ill children. The multidisciplinary Pediatric ICU team, under the leadership of the pediatrician, is comprised of other medical specialists (depending on the needs of the patient) including registered nurses, social workers, a psychologist, respiratory technologist, dietitian, pharmacist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist and others. There is a quiet room for families on the unit where they can make phone calls. There is also a family room with sleeping accommodations, washer and dryer, fridge and kitchenette and a television. Many donors to South-East Regional Health Authority and The Moncton Hospital support pediatrics and many of the rooms have been named in their honour.  Back to top |
