Comprehensive Course Breakdown: What You Will Learn

Our curriculum focuses strictly on pediatric emergency care, breaking down complex response protocols into practical, easy-to-remember steps:

1. Pediatric Emergency Response & CPR

  • Anatomical Differences: Master pediatric-specific CPR techniques, rescue breathing ratios, and exact compression depths tailored to the physiology of infants (under 1 year) and children.

  • Chest Compressions: Practice proper single-rescuer hand placement (2-finger or 2-thumb encircling technique for infants; 1- or 2-hand compressions for children).

  • Rescue Breathing: Learn the proper airway positioning, gentle breath volume to prevent gastric inflation, and effective barrier mask operation for small airways.

2. Pediatric Choking Relief & Airway Management

  • Obstruction Recognition: Instantly recognize the signs of a partial vs. completely blocked airway in conscious and unconscious children and infants.

  • Infant Choking Relief: Master the sequence of back slaps and chest thrusts for choking infants.

  • Child Choking Relief: Perform precise abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) adjusted for smaller bodies.

3. Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for Children & Infants

  • Safe and rapid pad placement on smaller chests using pediatric pads or dose attenuators.

  • Step-by-step AED voice prompt execution combined seamlessly with continuous CPR cycles.

4. Pediatric First Aid Essentials

  • Pediatric Medical Emergencies: Recognizing early warning signs of severe asthma attacks, seizures, high fevers, diabetic crises, and life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).

  • Epinephrine Auto-Injector (EpiPen) Administration: Hands-on practice with pediatric auto-injectors for severe food and insect sting allergies.

  • Traumatic Injury Care: Controlling pediatric bleeding with direct pressure, burn management, shock treatment, and immobilizing broken bones or joint injuries.
