PEDIATRIC CPR, AED & FIRST AID TRAINING
Official American Heart Association (AHA) Pediatric Certification Engineered for Childcare Providers, Preschools, Educators & Youth Program Staff
When an infant or young child experiences a life-threatening medical emergency, respiratory failure, or severe injury, rapid and correct intervention is essential. Children are not simply small adults—their airway anatomy, compression techniques, and emergency care protocols require specialized training.
Southeast Safety Partners delivers hands-on, authorized AHA Heartsaver® Pediatric CPR AED & First Aid certification directly to daycares, preschools, private academies, and school districts across Middle Tennessee.
Our courses fully satisfy Tennessee Department of Human Services (DHS) childcare licensing mandates, foster care regulations, and state educational safety standards.
Pediatric CPR, AED & First Aid
Specialized life safety instruction satisfying Tennessee DHS licensing mandates for preschool teachers, daycare centers, private academies, and youth coaches.
- Delivery Options: Delivered directly to your school/daycare or hosted at a prepped community venue.
- Includes: Infant/child CPR, pediatric AED operation, airway obstruction relief, and pediatric trauma.
Comprehensive Pediatric Emergency Response Curriculum
Our curriculum combines real-time feedback manikins, active AED simulators, and realistic scenario practice to build muscle memory and genuine confidence for early childhood professionals.
Infant & Child CPR and AED Deployment
Master precise compression depth, rate recoil techniques, and rescue breathing tactics engineered specifically for developing pediatric bodies:
- Techniques: 2-finger and 2-thumb encircling infant compressions, single-hand versus two-hand child compressions, and barrier device airflow management.
- Defibrillation: Pediatric AED pad placement, child dose attenuators, safety checks, and rapid voice prompt execution.
Foreign-Body Airway Obstruction & Choking Care
Choking is a leading cause of accidental injury in early childhood. Our instructors walk teachers and staff through decisive, calm rescue techniques for both conscious and unconscious victims:
- Infant Protocols: Repeated back slaps and chest thrust combinations with head-down supportive positioning.
- Child Protocols: Upright abdominal thrusts (Heimlich Maneuver) and smooth transitions to pediatric CPR if breathing ceases.
Pediatric Trauma & Critical Medical Emergencies
Step-by-step assessment and first aid care for common schoolyard, playground, and classroom medical crises occurring before emergency medical responders arrive on scene:
- Critical Illness: Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen) administration, asthma inhalers, and seizure management.
- Trauma Care: Head, neck, and spinal injuries, severe bleeding control, burn care, fractures, dental trauma, and heat-related illness.
