However, paediatric ICUs (PICU) are exclusively located in university hospitals in the Netherlands, hence redeployment potentially could reduce capacity for critically ill children [1] . PICU physicians and nurses advocated to remain in their environment and use the well-established working relationships within the PICU bedside team when caring for the adult COVID-19 patients because the general principles of intensive care medicine would not be different between children and adults [3] . Our ICUs admitted 98 adult COVID-19 patients, 12 of them were treated in the PICU by paediatric nurses and intensivists. It made PICU practitioners stronger in many ways and sets in motion a stronger relationship between paediatric and adult critical care medicine in our hospital. ./cache/cord-325694-xx6m60hv.txt ./txt/cord-325694-xx6m60hv.txt
