About Emergency Pediatric Care, Fourth Edition
Each year in the United States, approximately 1.6 million pediatric patients are transported by ambulance to emergency departments, and millions more are cared for globally. Given that pediatric prehospital patient care is classified as low-frequency, high-acuity care, it is crucial for healthcare practitioners to continually refresh and enhance their clinical knowledge. The Emergency Pediatric Care, Fourth Edition is designed specifically to meet these needs, ensuring that practitioners are prepared to apply their skills effectively when a pediatric emergency call is received.
This edition features a specialized course that utilizes the Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals, Fourth Edition as the reference text, bundled with a comprehensive course manual. This engaging manual serves as a valuable resource to be consulted long after the course completion, assisting practitioners in delivering the highest quality care to their young patients.
A Family-Centered Approach to Pediatric Care
The NAEMT’s EPC program aims to enhance the management of pediatric patients through global education for prehospital care practitioners at all levels. The primary goal of the EPC course is not only to empower EMS practitioners to provide superior care to ill and injured children but also to recognize that nearly every pediatric call involves the needs of both the child and their caregivers.
This course manual includes comprehensive coverage of essential topics such as:
- Pediatric development and assessment
- Pediatric respiratory emergencies
- Pediatric trauma care
