Comparison of Pediatric and Adult Care

Course Description:
In this podcast, I again chat with Laura Brooks and Brooke Richardson, but this time, we discuss some of the similarities and differences between adult and pediatric acute care, including differences in managing patients with tracheostomies. Laura and Brooks also chat about the challenges that these patient populations sometimes present and what competencies clinicians need to have. After completing this course, you will be able to:

1. List 3 differences between adult and pediatric acute care
2. Describe 2 areas that may present challenges in these settings and methods for handling them
