Our paediatric intensive care doctors understand the stress and worry of parents having children under critical care. They are also adept at sensing and managing anxieties, fears, and emotional outbursts of kids undergoing intense paediatric medical treatments. Our compassionate team of nurses and specialists collaboratively work to offer comfort and ensure your kids feel safe during diagnosis and treatment. The responsibilities of critical paediatric medicine experts are:

To diagnose life-threatening and destabilising conditions and provide emergency paediatric care.
Comprehensively monitor vital signs and supervise children in PICU, intensive paediatric treatment units, and on ventilators.
Treat chronic conditions of the lungs, brain, blood, and the heart
Counsel parents about preventive and ongoing care along with helping them manage medications
Place and change medical devices, such as catheters as the child grows.
Manage traumatic conditions and identify and provide the necessary mental health support.
Monitor behavioural traits and evaluate the physical and mental growth of the infants in the NICU.

With changing times, many children now focus on just one sport or activity, leading to side effects and injuries specific to that activity, much like the occupational hazards faced by adults. Paediatric medicine doctors assess and treat overuse, overtraining, and burnout-related conditions among adolescents. They also advocate for the overall well-being of children and educate parents as well as their trainers about potential risks.

Critical and Emergency Paediatric Care

Paediatric critical care ensures well-rounded supervision and support for patients from birth to adolescence. Narayana Health's highly skilled intensive care team for children comprises Paediatric ICU physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and diagnosticians. Our Paediatric critical care doctors also perform trauma care treatments, surgeries, and transplants with close collaboration of diverse paediatric specialists.

Situations in which the need for paediatric critical care may arise include:

Severe asthma
Severe Pneumonia
Convulsions or seizures
Diabetic ketoacidosis
An overwhelming infection like dengue, brain fever etc
Serious injuries due to trauma leading to brain injury, chest or abdominal injuries
Organ failure, such as kidney, liver, etc.
Situations of crises, such as cancer, blood disorders, etc.

Your paediatric specialist will form a tailored team dedicated to the highest quality care, disease/ condition management, and medical treatment. Our exceptional intensivists remain vigilant to monitor the well-being of your kids 24/7.

Following the treatment, our developmental paediatricians and child psychotherapists evaluate potential follow-up therapy, rehabilitation, and counselling needs before discharge. They guide parents and caregivers about post-treatment precautions, nutrition management, and child-life speciality care to support the patient, their parents, and siblings if needed.

We also provide critical care transport facilities with paediatricians, nurses, paramedics, and care professionals for infants, kids, and adolescents during emergencies. Narayana Health ensures that kids receive immediate and exceptional care to minimise the impact of traumatic events and sports injuries. Our emergency child health services are active 24/7 to offer high-speed access to medical care and early intervention during unprecedented events.

Children often cannot pinpoint their problems and express their feelings clearly. This is where the need for an experienced and exceptionally trained paediatrician arises. Moreover, little ones cannot always be cooperative and manage their emotions while undergoing the diagnosis or treatment. Narayana Health prioritises the emotional needs as much as the medicinal needs of kids. All our paediatric medicine experts are empathetic, sensitive to their emotional needs, and excellent at doing their jobs. They are certified in childcare and registered as paediatric specialists. This helps us ensure that your child receives world-class care administered through evidence-based best practices.

Considerate Doctors

Trusting someone for your child can be daunting but necessary. We understand your concerns, therefore, Narayana Health keeps parents involved throughout the treatment process to prevent the build-up of anxieties and keep them informed of the patient's progress. Since children (minors) cannot make their own decisions, our paediatricians handle the issues of guardianship, privacy, and legal responsibility, as per government regulations throughout paediatric treatments and care. Our doctors discuss the specialist care needed with the primary caregiver. Also, our childcare specialists develop treatment plans considering the needs of parents and their commitments to the patient, the patient's siblings, and work.

Holistic Approach

Narayana Health follows an osteopathic medicine approach. This means the doctor adopts a whole-person approach to ensure children receive the optimal care they deserve. Our childcare doctors focus on preventing any complications and recurrence of a disease, in addition to treating it as best as medically possible. We aim to deliver the highest quality treatments while improving the quality of life under special care or chronic conditions. They may involve alternative and allied childcare medicine practitioners, such as yoga specialists, acupuncturists, podiatrists, chiropractors, etc.

Exceptional Paediatric Critical Care

Our NICUs and PICUs are prepared with the latest and highly efficient monitoring technology and diagnostic equipment. Furthermore, our Paediatric clinics and residential childcare facilities are designed keeping children in mind to provide them with a comfortable space and relaxed environment. Our doctors provide exceptional paediatric emergency care to mitigate unprecedented risks

We have earned the trust of thousands of parents and guardians through our dedication to providing top-of-the-line care for children and young adults of all ages. Our commitment extends beyond initial treatment; as children grow, we ensure their care is seamlessly transitioned to adult specialists, particularly for those with chronic and life-threatening conditions. We facilitate this transition by meticulously documenting the child's complete medical history, enabling adult doctors to fully understand their conditions, treatments, and progress.
