Pediatrics for the Streets

Tiny Patients. Big Decisions.

Pediatric calls are different. The patients are smaller, the margins for error feel tighter, and even experienced EMS professionals can feel the pressure when the tones drop for a sick or injured child.

Pediatrics for the Streets was created for the real world of prehospital medicine.

Written from an EMS perspective, this book takes pediatric concepts out of the textbook and brings them to the street, focusing on practical thinking, assessment, decision-making, and the situations EMTs and paramedics actually encounter.

Inside, you’ll explore pediatric assessment, respiratory emergencies, shock, trauma, seizures, cardiac emergencies, newborns, special healthcare needs, medication considerations, communication with families, and more.

This isn't about memorizing another textbook. It's about becoming more confident when the patient in front of you is small and the stakes feel enormous.

Perfect for: • EMTs and paramedics • EMS students and educators • Nurses working in emergency and prehospital care • Anyone looking to strengthen their pediatric emergency knowledge

Because when the patient is tiny, the decisions are anything but.
