Pediatric emergency review: a "hands-on" approach
Pediatric Nursing
|September 1, 1990
Summary
A hands-on pediatric emergency review improves essential skills for nurses. This approach enhances critical thinking and psychomotor skill retention for pediatric emergency situations.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nursing
- Emergency Medicine
- Medical Education
Background:
- Pediatric nurses require specialized skills for emergency situations.
- Effective training is crucial for maintaining psychomotor proficiency and critical thinking.
- Current review methods may not adequately address skill retention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a hands-on approach for pediatric emergency review.
- To enhance psychomotor skill retention among pediatric nurses.
- To foster critical thinking in pediatric emergency scenarios.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a practical, skills-based training module.
- Focus on interactive learning and simulation.
- Assessment of skill retention and critical thinking application.
Main Results:
- Improved retention of psychomotor skills observed.
- Enhanced critical thinking capabilities demonstrated.
- Positive feedback on the hands-on methodology.
Conclusions:
- A hands-on review is effective for pediatric emergency preparedness.
- This method significantly boosts nurses' confidence and competence.
- Recommended for enhancing pediatric nursing emergency training programs.

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

01:21Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation I: Adult
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a life-saving emergency procedure performed when a person's heart has stopped beating or they are no longer breathing. The foundation of CPR is Basic Life Support (BLS), which focuses on the early recognition of cardiac arrest, the immediate start of high-quality chest compressions, and the timely use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).Assessing Responsiveness and Checking the Carotid PulseWhen approaching an unresponsive person, first ensure...
01:22Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...
01:23Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use
Introduction to AEDAn Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. In such emergencies, time is of the essence, and using an AED, combined with Cardiopulmonary...
01:25Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation IV: Pharmacological Management
Pharmacologic intervention is crucial in treating cardiac arrest patients during ACLS or Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support. The ACLS algorithms guide the administration of specific drugs based on the patient's cardiac arrest rhythm, which includes pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), asystole, and pulseless electrical activity (PEA).EpinephrineIndication: Epinephrine is the first-line drug for all cardiac arrest rhythms.Mechanism of Action: Epinephrine...
01:30Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway interventions are...
