The Texas Board of Nursing and the American Academy of Pediatrics endorse the use of case reviews and post code debriefing to improve knowledge base and cement evidence-based practices in a clinical setting. In this instance, there were a series of seriously ill children cared for in the Emergency Department. This educational activity is necessary to close potential knowledge gaps and to identify and streamline pediatric ER processes for ER calls "pediatric code in progress" coming in from community Emergency Response Ambulance Teams. There will be hands on learning stations to focus on high risk low volume procedures for the ER. Stations:  Line access UVC and Intraosseous, Neonatal code drug calculations, Video Intubation and Laryngeal Mask Airway Placement.
