0779_SSRRH_Pediatric Respiratory Emergencies_Live
Description:
This activity is an interactive learning session focused on managing pediatric respiratory distress in community hospital settings. Participants will explore key concepts such as the initiation, escalation, and weaning of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy and the transition to non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) or intubation when needed. The activity emphasizes evidence-based decision-making, team coordination, and patient safety during respiratory emergencies. Learners will engage in hands-on simulations that replicate real clinical scenarios—allowing them to practice equipment setup, assess respiratory scores, and apply escalation protocols in a controlled environment. By the end of the workshop, participants will gain both the technical and clinical judgment skills needed to respond effectively to pediatric respiratory failure.
Providing Culturally Appropriate Care which is Free of Implicit Biases (AB 1195 & 241):
Learners are strongly encouraged to engage in self-directed learning related to the impact of implicit biases in this clinical area via the references provided below:
