Interested in advancing and challenging your current knowledge in caring for pediatric and neonatal patients during transport? Whether you are on a dedicated specialty neonatal and/or pediatric transport team or a critical care transport professional with a mixture of adult and pediatric/neonatal patient transports, you'll benefit from attending the Pediatric Advanced Transport Course (PATC).
Pediatric Advanced Transport Course (PATC) is a hybrid educational experience focused on discussion of care for critically-ill and injured pediatric and neonatal patients during resuscitation, stabilization, and transport.
What Will I Learn as a Pediatric Transport Professional?
The didactic portion of the course includes online modules and an exam completed at your own pace prior to the in-person session. This portion is designed to strengthen participants' knowledge of the pathophysiology, assessment, and management of neonatal and pediatric patients in the transport environment.
The two-day, in-person portion of the course includes instructor-led small group discussions with transport professionals from across the United States, a ventilator lab with hands-on ventilator instruction and discussion of ventilation strategies specific to the neonatal and pediatric populations, and an invasive skills lab with instruction on skills including umbilical line placement and needle decompression. Attendees must complete both a neonatal and pediatric testing scenario in a simulation center as individuals to complete the course.
