PEARS
This course is designed to equip the healthcare provider to identify a pediatric victim at risk of severe cardiopulmonary distress, intervene early to stabilize the child, and contact the next level of care early.
Students develop skills in recognizing certain pediatric distress signs and symptoms using several unique visual cues and working at learning stations. Because typical PEARS students do not regularly treat critically ill children, the course includes video-based simulation so they can actually see and hear critically ill children.
Intended for healthcare providers who care for children not critically ill, such as physicians, nurses, pre-hospital healthcare providers, in-hospital providers outside of critical care areas, outpatient clinic staff, and school-based providers.
