On-Demand Top 10 Tips When Transporting Kids

Many EMS providers cringe at the thought of a pediatric patient and trying to figure out how to transport them. Should a provider use the car seat involved in a motor vehicle crash MVC? Do you risk upsetting a baby while you try to put them in a car seat, or do you let mom hold the baby on the way to the hospital? Pediatric transports typically only make up about 10% of total EMS calls, but are also typically some of the most anxiety-inducing calls. In this presentation, Stephanie Busch, an NREMT and Certified Child Passenger Safety technician, will provide some quick tips and considerations for frontline EMS providers when transporting children. Ms. Busch will engage the audience while they explore their own concerns about pediatric calls, and will help problem solve potential challenges providers face in the field.
