Aims And Objectives

to improve outcomes for pediatric patients by preparing healthcare providers to effectively recognize and intervene in patients with respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest by using high‐performance team dynamics and high‐quality individual skills. The course includes a series of case scenario practices with simulations that reinforce important concepts. Upon successful completion of all the patient cases, students must pass the multiple-choice exam with a minimum score of 84%. At the end of the course, participants should be able to: • Perform high‐quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) per American Heart Association (AHA) basic life support (BLS) recommendations • Differentiate between patients who do and do not require immediate intervention • Recognize cardiopulmonary arrest early and begin CPR within 10 seconds • Apply team dynamics • Differentiate between respiratory distress and failure • Perform early interventions for respiratory distress and failure • Differentiate between compensated and decompensated (hypotensive) shock • Perform early interventions for the treatment of shock • Differentiate between unstable and stable patients with arrhythmias • Describe clinical characteristics of instability in patients with arrhythmias • Implement post–cardiac arrest management
