Introduction Routine continuous monitoring of endotracheal tube placement with waveform capnography is considered standard care in the prehospital setting. However, maintaining this neonatal patients remains a challenge due to low tidal volumes that do not tolerate additional dead space ETCO2 attachments add. Additionally, can increase risk ETT dislodgement or kinking because weight and size relative patient size. We hypothesize there gap intubated neonates when compared adults setting terms...

A mass casualty event can result in an overwhelming number of critically injured pediatric victims that exceeds the available capacity critical care (PCC) units, both locally and regionally. To address these gaps, New York City (NYC) Pediatric Disaster Coalition (PDC) was established. The PDC includes experts emergency preparedness, care, surgery, medicine from 18 25 major NYC PCC-capable hospitals. PCC surge committee created recommendations for making additional beds with emphasis on...

Introduction Children frequently are the victims of disasters due to natural hazards or terrorist attacks. However, there is a lack specific pediatric emergency preparedness planning worldwide. To address these gaps, federal grant-funded New York City Pediatric Disaster Coalition (PDC) established guidelines for creating Critical care (PCC) surge plans and assisted hospitals in their plans. date, five completed plans, thereby adding 92 beds capacity.

Introduction A Mass-Casualty Event (MCE) involving pediatric victims could overwhelm existing resources. Therefore, early recognition of critically ill infants and children is essential for proper distribution among capable hospitals. However, emergency medical services (EMS) personnel have limited experience with assessments, less mass-casualty triage (MCT). To address these gaps, the New York City (NYC) Pediatric Disaster Coalition (PDC) in collaboration Fire Department (FDNY) Office...
