The Department of Intensive Care Medicine cares for patients from infancy to the age of 18 whose condition is or could become life-threatening. This can be the case after major operations and accidents or in the event of serious illnesses.
Patients whose care or monitoring is very complex are also cared for by the intensive care department. There are 8 beds available for this purpose. In exceptional situations, treatment is also possible up to the age of 25.
An independent IPS team is available around the clock at UKBB so that life-saving measures such as artificial respiration, circulatory support, renal replacement procedures (dialysis) and other interventions are possible at any time. If necessary, the IPS team is also alerted and mobilised immediately when critically ill children arrive at the emergency ward.
