AAP's Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals

Rating:
Summary: AAP's PEPP
Review: As prehospital professionals, we know several things about children; on average only 10% of our patients are pediatrics; we are aware of physiological differences based on age; we know how quickly they decompensate and pediatric calls make most of us very nervous. I read this book in conjunction with taking a 16 hour course on care for children by prehospital professionals; I found the information to be very helpful and know that my comfort level in the field when working with pediatric patients and their parents has been improved as a result. I highly suggest this book (and course) to all EMT's and 'medics.
