TowardPCC

A dedicated portal for pediatric critical care intensivists and trainees, currently being built.

A school-age child's heart and lungs, built from measured pediatric anatomy: airways branching from the carina into alveolar clusters that fill with each breath, four cardiac chambers in their true depth order, and both lungs outlined with the cardiac notch where the heart rests against the left one. It breathes about nineteen times a minute and beats about eighty-one, the way a well child at rest does, and the heart rate rises on inspiration as it does in a real one.
