This week on the podcast I interviewed Dr. Peter Antevy of Handtevy.com Pediatric Emergency Standards. This was a great session where Peter discussed:

• Why dispatchers have a hard time rapidly providing CPR instructions for children
• The power of reviewing all Pediatric (and adult) cardiac arrest audio tapes at your EMS agency
• Why our brains are wired to become anxious during a pediatric call and how to overcome it.
  • System 1 & System 2 thinking

This episode is sure to shed some light on dealing with pediatrics in the field and how we can do better.
