in the immediate period ahead.

7. DESIGN AND LAYOUT
• Points to be considered in establishing a new PICU:
• The first consideration in establishing a new PICU is to
document the need for such a unit in a given set up.
• Since PICU is an integral part of health care services
being offered in a particular set up, an assessment of its
need should be primarily based on the existing patient
load and type of illness cared for.
MR. AMAR ALIM MULLA, M. Sc. (N), PhD SCHOLAR

8. • Availability of committed and appropriately trained staff,
and adequate resources are other important
considerations.
• An institution providing paediatric intensive care should
be capable of providing 24 hours accessibility to a broad
range of paediatric sub specialities as these are essential
for optimal care.

16. Location:
• A PICU should be located adjacent to or within direct
access to paediatric emergency room, children wards,
radiology department, operating and recovery rooms.
• Transport of patients to and from the unit for diagnostic
and therapeutic procedures should be minimum.

17. Space:
• Adequate provision of space is essential.
• Approximately 20 meter square space should be available
per patient with 3-3.5 meters separating each patient.
• Enough floor space should be provided around the head
end of the bed to assemble necessary personnel and
equipment for resuscitation.
