This book has been compiled with two goals in mind. First, it is directed to physicians in training. The hope is to expose young doctors to the interesting breadth and complexity of the patients who present to the pediatric intensive care unit. This is directed at any level of training. Starting pediatric interns can be exposed to a far greater number of cases than they would encounter just by sequentially admitting their portion of the patients. Likewise, senior fellows will benefit from the experiences of a great number of PICUs around the world
