EMS responds to more than 2 million calls each year for kids 17 and younger. This session investigates what has changed with pediatric calls over the years and what are the areas of concern. Using response data, an agency can better target resources and training to ensure appropriate support for the calls that makes almost every clinician a little (or a lot) nervous.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the most common types of pediatric calls
Identify the most common interventions for targeted training and resources
Discuss if pediatric calls have increased in severity over time and how response has changed.
