Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Nurses, respiratory therapists, and emergency medical professionals who care for children must have the requisite skills and training on the unique characteristics of a pediatric patient’s respiratory system. Children have significant respiratory system differences compared to adults. These include, but are not limited to: Anatomy, physiology, signs and symptoms of respiratory distress, and respiratory emergencies. In children, the leading cause of cardiopulmonary arrest occurs from etiologies within the respiratory system. Clinicians must understand these differences and be prepared to work collaboratively to quickly respond and provide safe and competent care to any child who is in respiratory distress.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Describe the anatomy and physiology of the pediatric respiratory system and differences vs. adults.
  • Recall techniques for conducting a focused assessment of the respiratory system in pediatric patients and interventions for facilitating assessments and treatments.
  • Identify clinical manifestations of respiratory distress in pediatric patients.
  • Recognize conditions associated with respiratory emergencies in pediatric patients including treatments and interventions.
