About

The Pediatric Emergency ABCs and More helps healthcare professionals manage pediatric emergencies by providing information on airway, breathing, and circulation. It describes differences between infants and adults in airway anatomy and provides medication dosages based on weight. It includes blood pressure ranges, ECG values, fluid rates for burns, pain management strategies like nonpharmacologic interventions and sedation options. The guide also covers mechanical ventilation settings and equipment sizes by age or weight. Additionally, it offers tips for communicating about death with families using the GRIEV_ING method to support grieving families effectively during difficult times.
