PEARS Provider Manual

This student manual for the instructor-led, classroom-based PEARS course is an essential resource for training emergency medical technicians (EMTs), medical and surgical nurses, school nurses, and any other healthcare providers who infrequently see critically ill infants and children. Also useful as a pre- and post-course reference book. Based on the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and ECC.

The 176-page text for the new Pediatric Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization (PEARS) Course provides information on how to recognize the signs of impending respiratory failure or shock and know the appropriate treatment to initiate as well as follow recommended procedures for preventing disability and death in children. The book also comes with a PEARS Pocket Reference Card.
