PEPP Training Program

The PEPP (Pediatric Education for the Prehospital Professional) course is endorsed by the EMS for Children Project and the EMS Authority of California.  The PEPP course emphasizes the Pediatric Assessment Triangle for severity of illness or injury.  The course is case-based with multiple opportunities for the participant to practice pediatric assessment during the interactive lecture presentation as well as in the skills lab sessions. The skills labs also offer practice with the pediatric resuscitation tape, advanced airway management, vascular access and fluid resuscitation, and assessment and intervention for respiratory distress/failure, shock, and brain dysfunction (seizures, toxic exposure, ALOC).

The American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support course is based on scientific evidence from the 2005 AHA Guidelines for CPR and Emergency care of the pediatric patient. The goal of this interactive PALS course is to help the EMS provider attain the knowledge and skills necessary for efficient and effective management of the critically ill infant or child.  Skills include; recognition and treatment of an infant or child at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest; a systematic approach to pediatric assessment; effective respiratory management; defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion; intraosseous access and fluid bolus administration; and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
