Children may require intensive care for severe infection, breathing failure, shock, neurological emergencies, major trauma or complications after surgery. The team performs rapid age-specific assessment supported by bedside monitoring, blood tests and imaging to understand the cause and severity of organ dysfunction. Treatment may include oxygen or ventilation, fluids and medicines, infection control, nutritional support, urgent procedures and coordinated input from paediatric specialists. The unit aims to stabilise the child, prevent secondary complications and support recovery while providing families with clear, compassionate communication.
