Pediatric intensive care units
The special professional challenge!We care for critically ill infants, children, adolescents and young adults who require intensive therapy, treatment and monitoring due to their illness.
In addition to intensive care and medical treatment, our ward focuses on involving the entire family in the treatment process. In this way, we guarantee optimal care for patients and their families. We also provide the in-hospital emergency team for the pediatric clinic.
The focus is on the treatment of patients with impaired lung function, who can be treated with various ventilation methods (including NIV, HFO, NO therapy). Setting up and optimizing home ventilation is also part of the intensive care unit's remit and is carried out in collaboration with our colleagues in paediatric pneumology. Another focus is the implementation of renal replacement procedures, both for patients with kidney failure and for intoxications or metabolic imbalances, which is possible at any age.
Immunosuppressed children or children with chronically severe illnesses can be cared for in two single rooms. Patients with special infection situations can be cared for in accordance with hygiene guidelines. Essential diagnostic options (gastroscopy, bronchoscopy) and minor surgical procedures are possible on our ward. There is also an MRI scanner available for our intensive care patients.

We are part of the Department of General Pediatrics, Adolescent Medicine and Neonatology and work closely with the various departments of the Center for Pediatrics. Our ward has ten intensive care beds. As our work is very demanding and challenging, we attach great importance to the support of our staff, who give their best every day.
The professional skills of our employees are important to us. That's why we offer specialist training in pediatric intensive care internally.
