Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

The state-of-the-art pediatric and cardiac intensive care unit at UC Davis Children’s Hospital offers care for the most critically ill and injured children.

Each year, the PICU treats more than 1,000 infants, children and adolescents who experience traumatic injuries or life-threatening infectious diseases, or have undergone surgery to correct complex birth defects such as congenital heart anomalies.

Your gift supports the patient care and research to treat our pediatric patients, in a unit that has a 2-to-1 nurse-to-patient ratio, and critical care medicine physicians on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
