February 2026 - Episode 63, Pediatrics: Five Percent of Our Calls, Zero Percent Complacency
About this episode
This episode discusses pediatric 911 encounters, assessment techniques, and the Pedi-PART Trial.
Pediatric 911 encounters account for just over 5% of Milwaukee County EMS calls, but they require disciplined assessment and rapid recognition. In this episode, we discuss assessment pearls, talk about common emergencies in the pediatric population, and take a look at our current pediatric EMS study, the Pedi-PART Trial.
