This course will cover the recognition of the pediatric patient in need of transportation, as well as optimal techniques for the stabilization of this patient, the goal being a multidisciplinary plan to ensure the best outcomes. This course can be taken online, but can also be taught using a hybrid didactic/simulation (in person) model.  If the simulation portion is requested, an additional hour will be required.

Objectives

• Understand the steps necessary in the stabilization of the pediatric patient
• Describe the personnel, special equipment, and support needed to prepare for the transport
• Collaborate, communicate effectively, execute care, and manage time and resources to contribute to best outcomes during transport handoff
