Pediatric Fundamental Critical Care Support (PFCCS)

Pediatric Fundamental Critical Care Support (PFCCS) focuses exclusively on fundamental concepts for professional providers who may be involved in the initial management and transfer of critically ill or injured infants and children. PFCCS prepares non-intensivists, nurses, and critical care practitioners to deal with acute deterioration of critically ill pediatric patients. The course also assists the non-intensivist in handling the sudden decline of a previously stable patient and prepares house staff for PICU coverage.
