The course reinforces information from the neonatology section and provides an ample unit on developmental aspects that cover physical, cognitive and emotional guideposts. Included are implications for paramedic use. The anatomic and physiological section is a review of previous material and is succinctly treated. The assessment section includes a transition phase from initial assessment to the focus history. This is an important distinction that alerts the paramedic to allow the child to become familiar with the advanced sections. Specific pathophysiologic problems include respiratory compromise, shock, dysrhythmias, seizures, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, infection and poisoning and toxic exposure. The pediatric trauma approach is more specific and is guided by the latest edition of the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program for physicians by the American College of Surgeons, Committee on Trauma. Child abuse and neglect, as well as children with special needs, are included.
The geriatric section addresses the special needs of the elderly. Included are presentations on demographics, the effect of aging on body systems, altered physiology, multiple coexisting diseases, nonspecific and atypical presentations, limitations of mobility, self-care and the marked influence of the social system. The course emphasizes understanding the special needs of the elderly, the changes that the aging process brings about in physical structure, body composition and organ function will be a fundamental knowledge base in maintenance of life support functions. The special health care problems of the elderly - diabetes, hearing and visual impairment, hypertension, arthritis and cardiovascular disease and their complications in treatment are covered.
This course also includes information on a variety of “challenged” patients. This includes patients with physical challenges (hearing, visual and speech impairments, obesity, and paraplegia/quadriplegia), mental challenges (mental illness, developmental disability, emotional impairments), and challenges with chronic diseases (arthritis, cancer, cerebral palsy, systic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, poliomyelitis, head injuries, spina bifida and myasthenia gravis). Content in each of these areas includes a description of the challenge and accommodations that may be necessary in its assessment and management. This section concludes with discussion of four additional challenged groups: culturally diverse, terminally ill, those with communicable disease and financially challenged.
This course concludes with providing the knowledge and perspective to manage patients who are receiving complex medical care in a nontraditional setting. Although acute intervention from home care is the primary focus, the student also gains knowledge about extended-care and hospice facilities. After addressing the type of chronic care patients, the section provides general pathophysiology of body systems, assessment and management knowledge and skills. The section concludes with specific, acute home-health situations.

The students practice acting as a team leader and partner doing assessment, initial resuscitation, scene choreography, treatment and patient presentation. Most of the common chief complaints that paramedics will encounter in the field are included in this unit. Next to actually being in the field, these scenarios with programmed patients and actual equipment are one of the best ways to take the mountain of theoretical material and focus it. It is also an excellent way to begin developing “team leadership” skills that are critical to actually being an effective field paramedic. The student will be afforded opportunities to develop effective teamwork prior to entering the clinical and field phases of the paramedic curricula.
Additionally, this course affords laboratory practice time for the student to review and “fine tune” Type I skills necessary for the student to enter the clinical area.
