TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course is designed for Physicians, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Registered Nurses, Physician Assistants and other medical care providers who need to obtain or update resuscitation skills and documentation.

PROGRAM PURPOSE:
Due to the inherent knowledge, skills, practice locations, and populations of patients served by practitioners of anesthesiology and/or emergency and critical care medicine, the physicians, nurses, and other such specialty care providers are summoned to serve the dying patient, particularly those whose death is sudden and unexpected. This program is designed to update these practitioners with the latest consensus on this body of scientific information in the form of formal guidelines provided by national agencies, recognized to possess the resources to develop guidelines and identify mandatory skills to provide quality resuscitative care for infant and children in all clinical and non-clinical locations.

OBJECTIVES: At the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able to:
Explain the latest guidelines for pediatric resuscitation, including but not limited to basic scientific studies, pharmacology, dysrhythmia identification, pertinent equipment and recommended therapeutic intervention, featuring those most recently added or altered, through the citation of the specific scientific background for each and the description of how this newer information impacts the performance of resuscitative procedures.

Successfully meet the current requirements of the American Heart Association and, as appropriate, other pertinent agencies jointly sponsoring guidelines with this association, in documenting proficiency in providing resuscitative care.

Apply this information in the clinical setting most commonly encountered in participant's-to-day clinical practice.
