This comprehensive text helps equip those who do not routinely provide care to critically ill children and who are not required to have a PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) credential -- such as physicians, nurses, pre-hospital and in-hospital providers outside of critical care areas, outpatient-clinic staff, and school-based providers -- to identify a pediatric victim at risk of severe cardiopulmonary distress, intervene early to stabilize the child, and contact the next level of care early. Readers learn to recognize the signs of impending respiratory failure or shock, initiate the appropriate treatment, and follow recommended procedures for preventing disability and death in children. 120 pages, 8 1/2" x 11"
