2024 World PICU Awareness Week & Day
The World PICU Awareness Week Committee exists to raise awareness about #PedsICU in general and any important themes impacting the specialty by engaging members and key stakeholders in awareness and advocacy activities at a global and regional level. This 7 day event culminates in World PICU Awareness Day on the 2nd Friday of May, annually.
World PICU Awareness Week theme – ICU Liberation Bundle. Each region focuses on a different letter of the bundle. Thanks to our collaboration with OPENPediatrics, every day during World PICU Awareness Week a podcast will be released by a different region sharing their experience.
The F element episode highlights how important it is to understand the role of each family member in PICU care. What are the main problems and challenges experienced by family members in Latin America? We also talk about contextualizing children who are family members (siblings) and how to include them in the care of the patient during PICU care.
