||
| Louis Pasteur said, "Chance favors the prepared mind." Nothing could be more true for EMS disaster planning and response. Now throw pediatric populations into the mix, and you and your agency have a whole set of possible complications not usually considered in common disaster management scenarios. Join me for a discussion about specific pediatric issues that your EMS agency should consider- AND PREPARE FOR- in preplanning for and responding to disaster situations. Let's not leave it to chance! | ||

4b Pediatric Triage & JumpSTART Drew Harrell, MD Fellow in Disaster, EMS, and Tactical Medicine and Attending Physician, UNM Dept of Emergency Medicine, Assistant Medical director ABQ FD, tactical Physician Bernalillo County Sheriff's Dept SWAT, Physician NM Task Force 1 USAR Team. |
||
| “They’re just little adults, right?” WRONG. Pediatric calls make anyone nervous. Now throw in a MCI with lots of injured children and the pucker factor has shot sky high. During this lecture Dr. Harrell will present how utilizing the pediatric JumpSTART triage tool can help you, as the EMS Triage officer, make clinically appropriate triage decisions for pediatric MCI patients. He will review pediatric anatomy and physiology and how the differences in these affect triage decisions compared to adult patients in MCI scenarios. They might not be little adults but with the right tools and training pediatric MCI patients can be just as easily triaged as the “big people”. | ||
