The practice of neurocritical care for children with injured or vulnerable brains entails clinical assessment, a range of monitoring methods within the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and the follow-up of children’s long-term neurodevelopment.

These activities involve inherent challenges related to the diversity of the case mix and age range.

With the paper’s authors, we went through what is needed to take PICU survivorship to the next level.
