Treating a child with an urgent condition requires a unique set of skills and treatment interventions. As a healthcare provider, it is ESSENTIAL that you understand the intricacies of treating this unique population of patients, especially in a crisis situation. Do you see children who are in need of airway management, and do you know what steps to take to manage their condition? Can you recognize the underlying conditions presented in lab results? Do you have the skills to properly treat a child exposed to a toxic substance? Would you know how to recognize and distinguish common gastrointestinal conditions found in infants? Attend this seminar and leave with the in-depth skills and knowledge you need to overcome the real-time challenges you face. Learn through a case-based presentation of the physiology and emergent management of life-threatening infant and pediatric pathologies.

Drawing from her extensive experience, Robin Gilbert, MSN, RN, CEN, CPEN, will teach you practical strategies for the recognition and management of urgent pediatric conditions. Participating in this seminar is an excellent way for you to learn the key skills in: airway management/pulmonology, gastrointestinal conditions, neurological condition recognition, major environmental, toxicological and medical emergencies, and lab interpretation. Once you know the latest evidence-based recommendations, you can incorporate these assessment findings with the appropriate treatment options across different pediatric settings.

This seminar and available DVD is an excellent study/review resource for several industry standard certification exam blueprints (CCRN, CFRN, CEN, CPEN, FP-C, NPS, and C-NPT).
