Pediatric Intensive Care-Advanced treatment for critically ill children
The pediatric critical care team at Baylor Scott & White McLane Children’s Medical Center in Temple cares for children who are very ill or medically unstable with a 16-bed unit. These situations may result from very serious disease, infection or injury sustained from trauma, such as a traumatic brain injury.

The PICU care team is made up of intensivists, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, Child Life specialists, social workers, pastoral staff and dietitians – all working together to provide round-the-clock treatment for our young patients.
