Read a sample scenario—see the icon below. Also look for the helpful information,"How to Use This Book."

This ACEP resource is a terrific personal “refresher course” and study guide, and a great teaching tool for refresher training sessions. The assessment and treatment recommendations are evidence based and rigorously adhere to APLS and PALS guidelines. And the popular case-based “mock code” format will help improve your skills in real-life situations—when your youngest patients need you the most.

Features:

• The principles of pediatric resuscitation—conducting the initial assessment, vital signs, monitoring, intubation, venous access, and more

• How to conduct a “mock code” training session

• 46 “mock code” scenarios—a wide variety of emergency conditions you could be faced with at anytime, from airway, breathing, and circulation crises to trauma and environmental emergencies

• Specific scenarios include myocarditis, closed head injury, asthma, multiple trauma, poisoning, and more, always focusing on the “ABCs” of resuscitation.

• Each scenario begins with a patient presentation and moves through initial assessment, diagnosis, interventions, complications, and disposition.

• “Ask Yourself” questions—and answers—are presented in each scenario to help you anticipate needed interventions and their potential complications.

• PALS algorithms, as well as assessments based on the popular Pediatric Assessment Triangle approach

• Tables, figures, and appendixes that present useful information such as normal vital sign ranges by age, standard equipment sizes by age, Apgar scoring, Glasgow Coma Scale scoring, and more

• Written by more than 50 pediatric emergency medicine practitioners and educators

“Drs. Roback and Teach…have made several noteworthy improvements in this new text…new and revised case scenarios have been added…the scenarios are now also formatted for self-learning in a question-and-answer style. Overall, Pediatric Resuscitation is a well written, informative text for the individual seeking case-based learning and review of critical care emergency medicine-based pediatrics. It is also a great reference text and guide for those conducting pediatric mock codes in a teaching environment for faculty, residents, fellows, medical students, nurses, and other health care providers.”—Annals of Emergency Medicine, June 2006

“The editors have succeeded in their goal of producing a volume that is easily used for individual self-study and for small-group learning and team building via pediatric mock codes. There is a paucity of similar texts, and thus…fills the void nicely.…The adaptability of this book…will allow any practitioner…to learn.…Residency training program directors, medical student rotation coordinators, and departmental education directors all will find this book to be a very useful addition to their libraries.”—Academic Emergency Medicine, November 2006
