[Ep10] Do you work in EMS or another kind of healthcare space where you primarily see adult patients? Maybe pediatric patients aren't your specialty, but there's still a chance you might encounter one when you clock-in for your shift? Let's chat about what to keep in mind when taking care of pediatric patients who may have RSV - and more - on this episode of High-Fidelity Conversations!
Laura Holdren, MSN, RN is an EMS Coordinator with the Nationwide Children's Hospital EMS Program, here in Columbus, Ohio. She also functions as a nurse educator/EMS CE instructor.
For this episode, we talk with Laura about practical tips for managing pediatric patients with suspected RSV.
