Transfer from the pediatric unit to the NICU

Hello everyone,

Just wondering if you accept newborn from the pediatric unit? If so, what are your criteria for admissions? Up to what age will you accept? Do you have any guidlines/policies that you can share?

Thank you kindly,

Annie

We do accept transfers from the PICU. They are usually newborns that were sent there for post op care after heart surgery or ECMO. The criteria have been worked out with the physicians. I don't know of any nursing pollicies but I will check on them.
