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.
In this podcast Professor Lyvonne Tume and dietitian Lynne Latten discuss the role of nutrition within the PICU, how requirements are assessed, how we can monitor the impact of this nutrition has on outcome and what we need to think about once the child is liberated from the PICU.
