Procedural sedation in the pediatric population presents additional factors beyond sedation of an adult patient. This module addresses levels of sedation and the pediatric-focused considerations associated. It covers the common medications and monitoring needed to keep the patient safe. The module includes several clinical scenarios for students to apply their knowledge in a practical way.

After successfully completing this module, students should be able to:

  • Describe basic concepts of sedation and analgesia,
  • Identify common medication types used in procedural analgesia and sedation,
  • Describe special considerations of procedural analgesia and sedation, and
  • Describe appropriate procedural sedation and analgesia for specific circumstances.

This module describes the identification and management of medical emergencies in pediatric patients with special healthcare needs. It is designed to educate students about potential complications related to intrathecal baclofen pumps, tracheostomy tubes, vagal nerve stimulators, and ventriculoperitoneal shunts.

After successfully completing this module, students should be able to:

  • Recognize the emergency management of a child who has an intrathecal baclofen pump,
  • Recognize life-threatening emergencies that might be encountered in a child with a tracheostomy tube,
  • Recognize the emergency management of a child who has a vagal nerve stimulator, and
  • Outline the emergency management of a child who has a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

Learn the basics of identification of toxic substances through targeted history, physical exam, and diagnostic studies. Review common therapies for ingestions, including methods used to minimize drug absorption and enhance excretion for common poisons. This module also reviews effects of commonly misused or abused drugs as well as a section describing treatments for caustic eye injuries that children may encounter.

After successfully completing this module, students should be able to:

  • Recognize the importance of identifying ingestion, providing first aid, and contacting Poison Control,
  • Identify methods used to minimize drug absorption,
  • Describe the specific therapies, including antidotes, for common poisons,
  • Summarize effects of drug abuse and misuse,
  • Describe different routes of exposure (e.g., eye, cutaneous), and
  • Summarize the effects and management of smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning.

This module covers concepts and interventions related to pediatric trauma. The content describes unique anatomic and physiologic characteristics that affect the interventions and responses to injury and subsequent management.

After successfully completing this module, students should be able to:

  • Recognize the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of pediatric post–cardiac arrest syndrome,
  • Implement cardiac monitoring as part of post–cardiac arrest care,
  • Implement respiratory support of the intubated child during post–cardiac arrest care,
  • Implement neurologic support and monitoring during post–cardiac arrest care,
  • Monitor for and manage other physiologic, organ, and secondary complications of post–cardiac arrest syndrome,
  • Formulate outcomes and prognostication after cardiac arrest, and
  • Describe recovery after cardiac arrest.

Learn the basic principles of ultrasound physics, basic controls common to most medical ultrasound equipment, images obtained for an e-FAST ultrasound study, other applications of point-of-care ultrasound, and performing ultrasound assessments of the airway (A), breathing (B), circulation (C), and disability (D) (trauma).

After successfully completing this module, students should be able to:
