About

The website describes 10 tabletop exercises for EMS training focused on pediatric care. These exercises help participants learn resuscitation protocols, equipment use, and patient assessment without needing many supplies. Scenarios include child shock, infant tachycardia, accidental overdose, bradycardia cases, respiratory failure in infants, adolescent trauma care, cardiac arrest response in children and more. The goal is to teach medication calculations and treatment plans using simple tools like weight-based guides and ECG strips. Tim Nowak shares his expertise from years of experience in emergency services to improve EMS training methods effectively on a budget.
