In this video, we review the PALS secondary assessment, which means we’ve already done our pediatric assessment triangle.
In this short PALS review video, we will talk about our last segment in our primary assessment, which is exposure.
When we talk about disability in our primary assessment, we’re talking about the child’s level of consciousness—are they in a state of altered mental status?
It’s time to talk about circulation, assessing a child’s cardiovascular status—how well are they moving oxygenated blood throughout the body?
Breathing—it’s a critical part of our primary assessment. Learn how to properly assess a child’s breathing.
What is an airway? I think of it as a pathway to get air into the child (oxygenation) and CO2 out of the child (ventilation).
The primary assessment is broken into A, B, C, D, E: airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure. Learn more in this short video review.
In this video, we review the PALS pediatric tachycardia algorithm and the types of tachycardias that are seen in the algorithm.
Looking for a quick refresher of the PALS cardiac arrest algorithm? Check out our recent video that reviews this topic in a matter of minutes!
