Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization Provider Manual

The PEARS Provider Manual is intended for use by a single student and provides information needed before, during and after the Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization course and is intended for healthcare providers such as emergency medical technicians, medical and surgical nurses, school nurses and any other healthcare providers who infrequently see critically ill infants and children. The PEARS course teaches students how to recognize respiratory distress, shock and cardiac arrest, and provide appropriate lifesaving interventions within the initial minutes of response until the child is transferred to an advanced life support provider. It also emphasizes the resuscitation team concept.

Note: Before purchasing an AHA eBook for a classroom-based course, students should check with their instructor or instructor's Training Center Coordinator to confirm that mobile devices will be allowed in the classroom.
