About
The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Surge Capacity Plan is a guide for hospitals to handle sudden increases in patients. It describes how to prepare and manage resources, staff, and space during emergencies like pandemics or natural disasters. The plan includes steps for expanding care capacity, ensuring enough medical supplies, and training staff for crisis situations. It also emphasizes the importance of communication between different hospital departments and with families of patients. By following this plan, hospitals can better support children who need intensive care during times when patient numbers are higher than usual.
