Under the direction of Dr. Jeffrey Burns, Chief of the Division of Critical Care Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston, the videos on this website are part of a pilot project to bring pediatric intensive care resources to anyone -- in anyplace -- across the world by creating a web-based video library of notable clinicians speaking on essential topics in the care of a critically ill child. In essence, "Pediatric Intensive Care without walls."
The specific objective of the video library going forward is to feature expert physicians from across the globe speaking on the full range of topics essential to pediatric critical care medicine. Please note that for practical reasons these pilot videos feature two physicians who are or were previously associated with Children's Hospital Boston/Harvard Medical School.

PICU without Walls continues to progress through the initial stages of development. We have completed a Needs Assessment of health care providers in three hospitals in the developing world, Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Reap, Cambodia; National Pediatric Hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia; and Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi. Currently, we are utilizing the results of the needs assessment to develop high-fidelity videos of expert Children's Hospital Boston health care providers explaining topics in pediatric respiratory care, utilizing both didactic teaching as well as patient simulation. We are in the editing stages of several videos, including videos on oxygen therapy, pulse oximetry, techniques on suctioning patients in the ICU, mechanical ventilation, and bubble CPAP. Once the respiratory care videos are completed, we will be performing a pilot study at National Pediatric Hospital to evaluate the ability of the videos to improve the education of health care providers in respiratory care topics.

The Multimedia Library of Congenital Heart Disease, created and edited by Dr. Robert Geggel at Children's Hospital Boston, is an excellent resource for both professionals and patients. The library includes still-frames (diagrams, electrocardiograms, chest radiographs, pathology images), phonocardiograms, and video images (echocardiography, angiocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac surgery) of 27 different congenital cardiac lesions.
