Take home points:
- Caring for children is challenging, strive to find ways to offload the cognitive burden of pediatric resuscitation
- It isn't just about training, you have to go deeper into education, skill performance, and simplification of tasks
- Do the basic skills well! BVM and CPR are basic skills, but frequently performed incorrectly and unsafely.
- Do your homework. Matt and Carl work to bring you the very best in evidence based pediatric care. Do your part in reading and understanding how this work can inform your own care of children.
