Paediatric Cardiac Intensive Care

Paediatric cardiac intensive care provides specialised medical support for children with serious heart conditions. Care may involve continuous monitoring, medicines to support circulation and respiratory assistance. The treatment plan depends on the child's condition and clinical requirements.

Postoperative Paediatric Cardiac Care

Children recovering from heart surgery may require intensive monitoring of blood pressure, oxygen levels and organ function. Postoperative cardiac care aims to identify complications and provide appropriate support while the child recovers from the surgical procedure.

Congenital Heart Disease Critical Care

Congenital heart disease includes structural abnormalities of the heart present from birth. Some children with these conditions require intensive medical support due to circulation or oxygenation problems. Treatment depends on the specific defect and clinical severity.

Cardiac Haemodynamic Monitoring

Haemodynamic monitoring involves evaluating cardiovascular function through measures such as heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. It helps intensive care teams assess the child's response to treatment and make decisions about fluids, medicines and other forms of support.

Respiratory Support in Cardiac Intensive Care

Critically ill children with cardiac conditions may need oxygen therapy or assisted ventilation. Respiratory support is selected according to breathing function, oxygenation and the child's overall condition. Continuous clinical monitoring helps guide adjustments to treatment.

Paediatric Cardiac Emergency Stabilisation

Serious childhood cardiac emergencies require rapid medical assessment and specialist support. Stabilisation may involve improving oxygen delivery, supporting circulation and addressing the underlying problem. Treatment varies according to the specific heart condition and emergency presentation.
