Special Procedures/Unit Details:
• NICU: UVA Children’s NICU is a 54 bed unit comprised of intensive (ICU) and intermediate (ICN) care patients. NICU RNs attend high-risk deliveries offering neonatal resuscitation for infants with extreme prematurity and other birth complications. Nurses care for infants born with congenital defects, surgical needs, respiratory distress, neurological disorders, and other diagnoses with an emphasis on relationship-based care where families are true care partners. Using cutting edge technology and a focus on evidence-based practice, the NICU at UVA Children’s is a regional transfer center serving patients from all over the Commonwealth. We offer advanced therapies such Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation and hypothermia treatment. Patients receive various modes of monitoring and support, including respiratory, hemodynamic, and thermoregulation. Nurse ratios are typically 1:2 in the ICU and 1:3 in the ICN.
• Acute Pediatrics: Acute Care Pediatrics is a team of about 100 employees with a vast knowledge in all things pediatric. We have a total of 40 beds with the largest admitting services to Acute Care Pediatrics being Cardiology, Surgery, General Pediatric Medicine, and Hematology Oncology. Within our 39 beds there are 6 Intermediate Stepdown beds, an epilepsy monitoring area, and a future Pediatric Bone Marrow Unit. The nurse to patient ratio is 1:3 in the Intermediate area and 1:4-5 in the Acute Care area. As part of our interdisciplinary team you will find Child Life Specialists, Respiratory Therapy, Speech, Occupational and Physical Therapists. We work very closely with our physician partners in efforts to continuously improve the patient experience.
• PICU: The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is a 22 bed unit providing care to children who’s ages range from newborn to 18 years old. The PICU provides care for cardiac and medical illnesses, and the nurses providing care in the unit usually care for one or two patients depending on the severity of the patients illness. Patient diagnoses include, but are not limited to, congenital cardiac defects, respiratory disease, trauma injuries, transplantation (liver, heart, kidney), neurosurgical, orthopedic, and general surgical interventions. Nurses routinely care for patients requiring vasoactive infusions, mechanical ventilation, intracranial and hemodynamic monitoring, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and ventricular assist devices (VAD). The interdisciplinary team, including the nurse, physician, respiratory therapist, physical/occupational therapist, and child life specialist, work closely with the patient and family to provide individualized care and support.
• The Pediatric Emergency Department is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the care of pediatric patients (age 0-21 years). Staffed by Pediatric Emergency physicians and nurses, we see children and teens immediately and prioritize cases according to the level of the emergency.
