Special Populations (9 Revised edition)

This DVD focuses on the issues that accompany pediatric and geriatric calls such as size of the patient, use of equipment that the EMT may be less familiar with, and the stress brought on by treating these patients.

Witness response and care of pediatric patients that are burned, that were hit by an automobile, and an unknown problem.

Watch the assessment and care of a three-day old infant, a child with decreased level of consciousness, and a poisoning patient.

Also, geriatric patients present a variety of challenges including sight and hearing difficulties, multiple medications, complicated health problems, emotional stress, and dealing with approaching death.

All of these challenges and others are contained in three geriatric calls.
