Inside EMS Podcast: Pediatric Resuscitation

On this week’s episode of Inside EMS, co-host Chris Cebollero and I discuss the latest EMS news and events, and welcome Dr. Peter Antevy to the Guest Table. Peter is a pediatric emergency physician, and the developer of the Handtevy Pediatric Box resuscitation system.

Dr. Antevy debunks the common fallacies of pediatric resuscitation, namely that resuscitations are inherently chaotic (and the tangential myth that parents shouldn’t witness them), and that pediatric arrest patients must be immediately transported.

As he puts it, “We know that working the code on scene and only transporting after we get ROSC works best for adults, so why don’t we give kids that same fighting chance at survival? What resuscitation can the ED provide the child that the medics cannot?”

Listen to the discussion on Inside EMS, and share your thoughts with us.
