In this episode, co-hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson discuss EMS1 columnist Kevin Grange's recent article, "Pediatric patient ABCs: 7 tips for EMTs and paramedics." Our co-hosts talk about building confidence, how best to use the Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT) and knowing the five different age ranges of growth development.
