LEVEL II
Pediatric Basic Life Support – Deals with infants
and children up to 8 years of age. Directed to all who are responsible for
the care of infants and children, including parents, babysitters, day-care
providers, teachers, etc. Cardiac arrest in this age group is rarely
primarily of cardiac origin. It is more commonly caused by respiratory or
circulatory failure resulting from a variety of injuries or medical
diseases. In the vast majority of cases we are dealing with a preventable
problem. This course places special emphasis on the causes and prevention
of pediatric accidental injuries and death. It provides training in the
initial care for Cardiac Emergencies; including Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation, Automated External Defibrillation, and Foreign Body Airway
Obstruction. A prerequisite for this course is successful completion of
our Level I or an equivalent.
