Prereq: First Responder or Emergency Medical Technician. This course is designed to equip the provider to identify a pediatric victim at risk of severe cardiopulmonary distress, intervene early to stabilize the child and early activation of the next level of care. PEARS is a video-based, instructor-led pediatric course designed to prepare healthcare providers and first responders who infrequently see critically ill children to initiate and manage the first few minutes of a pediatric cardiac arrest or prevent the cardiac arrest of a pediatric patient. This class is intended for healthcare providers and first responders who are not required to have Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) credentials but who might encounter pediatric patients in the course of their work, such as physicians, nurses, prehospital providers, in-hospital providers outside of critical-care areas, outpatient clinical staff and school-based providers. Class fee includes required text.
