Pediatric Pearls for
Pre-Hospital Professionals
Pete Lazzara |
|
The one thing that scares emergency service
providers the most usually is shorter than two feet tall and wears a
diaper. Managing the pediatric patient in the pre-hospital setting is
not only challenging but can be downright scary. Only 10% of all
emergency responses involve children, and of that only 3% percent will
need aggressive inventions. This “pearls” class will increase your
comfort zone in caring for the pediatric patient in the pre-hospital
setting. We’ll cover child development, pediatric assessment,
anatomical differences between adult and pediatric patients and how
these differences impact how you will manage care for your patient,
trauma, medical emergencies, airway management (including a few tips
for tubing tots), as well as numerous other BLS and ALS skills. |

Center in Eastern Wisconsin. Your experience will include a tour of
the trauma center, a show and tell session, and case studies in

Going Home Is Our Number One Priority
Rick Patrick, Troy
Webster, Dale Reisen |
|
During this workshop we will discuss how teamwork,
communication, decision making, leadership and establishing an
effective incident command can reduce injuries and deaths to public
safety personnel. Participants will learn how safety on the emergency
incident, training ground, and around the station is the most
important priority. The morning session will examine the safety
factors of our jobs. After that participants will break into three
rotating breakout sessions to examine error management,
standardization, communication break down, using the right tools,
responding to emergencies, and review case studies of firefighter
injuries and deaths. |
