Pediatric Transport Team

Local hospitals rely on our intensivists when a child becomes critically ill. Our physicians visit the facility and stabilize the child. Should the child need long-term, high-level medical care, our Pediatric Transport Team will bring him or her to Saint Peter's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The Transport Team is directed by fellowship-trained pediatric intensivists who work in the PICU and is staffed by practicing pediatric critical care nurses and respiratory therapists. It uses pediatric ventilators, pediatric monitors and other equipment specific to the needs of critically ill children.
