Now @FionaBickell1 describing the @STRS_Evelina and @EvelinaLondon experience of expanding #PedsICU during #COVID19 to help deal with surge activity

#EPCCS20

As the #COVID19 pandemic increased in London the requests for help from #PedsICU to adult #ICU increased as it was clear this disease didn’t impact on children as much

Key issues were:
- nursing staff
- space

#EPCCS20

As the #COVID19 pandemic progressed it was noted older children were presenting with what was later found to be #PIMS-TS

#PedsICU key in making the diagnosis and helping to identify this disease

However the moved #PICU was not fully fit for purpose

#EPCCS20 @FionaBickell1

@FionaBickell1 summarising the @EvelinaLondon learning of moving units and #COVID19 ... I think lots of us in #PedsICU can agree with these!
