PICU in the MICU: Supporting Pediatric Care During Public Health Emergencies Webinar

After nearly three years of low disease burden, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza are infecting children at extraordinarily high levels, leading to frequent hospitalizations and overburdening childrens' hospitals around the world. During prior waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) supported adult critical care by admitting younger adults. In this webinar, we will discuss the epidemiology and clinical management of RSV infection in the PICU. We also discuss how adult ICUs can return the favor to PICUs, assisting with the care of critically-ill adolescents and helping preserve systems of care for all children
