I’m a CICU doctor. I’m the CICU director.

But somehow I’ve found myself finishing a week of PICU service. The PICU is wild!

So here’s what I’ve learned and why the PICU is tougher than the CICU.

a thread #PedsICU #pedscicu 1. High turnover

PICU: length of stay felt like about 18 hours. 5 new patients show up overnight.

This was exhausting.
