AUSTIN – Dell Children’s Medical Center staff and Ascension Seton celebrated the expansion of Dell Children’s cardiac critical care unit, which has doubled in size.
The unit now has 48 beds for pediatric heart care. The rooms are also equipped with beds, and some with private bathrooms, for family members to stay overnight.
Doctors can also now perform quasi-operations from the patient’s bedside.
The medical center hopes the expansion will give them the chance to develop specializations within the ICU.
