Pediatric Critical Care
High Quality & Coordinated Care
The Pediatric Critical Care Division at Golisano Children's Hospital is dedicated exclusively to the specialized care of infants, children and young adults with serious illnesses, injuries and peri-operative needs. This is the largest intensive care service for children in Upstate New York. Specialized care is provided 24/7 by nationally recognized pediatric intensivists, pediatric cardiac intensivists, pediatric critical care advanced practice providers, nurses, and respiratory therapist.
The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and the Pediatric Cardiac Care Center (PCCC) are physically located next to each other allowing specialists and services to be shared and readily available should your child need them. In addition, they are positioned between the inpatient floors and the operating rooms shortening transport times and reducing risks for our patients.

Advanced Technology
We are now treating infants who are critically ill and renal failure with a new tool that is built to improve the outcomes for the most fragile patients. The Cardio-Renal Pediatric Dialysis Emergency Machine (CARPEDIEM TM) is a new continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) designed specifically for small infants with acute kidney injury or kidney failure requiring dialysis. With 3 CARPEDIEM’s, Golisano Children’s Hospital is only the second hospital in the country to be trained and proficient in treating patients with the device.
