Does anyone have examples of academic hospitals where PICU attendings [who did not undergo further training in CVICU or cardiology] care for at least a moderate volume of kids with congenital heart disease (from just overnight coverage, to actually rounding and being the ICU attending for them), including single ventricles, cardiac ECMO, or heart transplants?
Is this structure more common in mixed units, or in places where the pediatric cardiac ICU is more under the umbrella of pediatric critical care?
I'm aware that it is becoming more common for pediatric CVICUs to be dedicated and separate from PICUs. But as a PICU fellow, I would love to know if there's an option to care for critically ill children/babies with congenital heart disease (as I'm deciding whether to pursue further cardiac training or not).
