Those who represent the first line of care know that the first hours of treatment to a critically ill child have a significant impact on the outcome. This introductory overview of paediatric critical care is written for medical students, paediatric residents, and residents from other disciplines who rotate through paediatric ICU. In addition to covering PICU topics, this tome reviews the initial management and stabilization of critically ill children.
