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

After nearly 3 years of low disease burden, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza are infecting children at extraordinarily high levels, leading to frequent hospitalizations and overburdened children’s 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, experts discuss the epidemiology and clinical management of RSV infection in the PICU. They 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.

Moderator: Ryan C. Maves, MD, FCCP

Panelists: Mary A. King, MD, MPH, and Deanna Behrens, MD

This webinar was developed by the Disaster Response and Global Health Section of CHEST’s Chest Infections and Disaster Response Network.
