Overview

Catch the latest shifts in pediatric practice—all in one session. This session highlights key changes in pediatric BLS/PALS and what they mean for effective CPR. We’ll break down new evidence challenging routine use of cefdinir, review SCOUT-CAP’s insights on shorter antibiotic courses for pneumonia, and cover the latest outcomes on RSV prevention through vaccines and long-acting antibodies. Walk away with practical, evidence-based takeaways you can put into practice tomorrow.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe key updates in pediatric BLS/PALS and explain how they impact CPR performance and outcomes.
  • Evaluate recent evidence on cefdinir use and apply antibiotic stewardship principles to common pediatric infections.
  • Summarize findings from the SCOUT-CAP trial and determine when shorter antibiotic courses are appropriate for pediatric pneumonia.
  • Discuss current RSV prevention strategies, including maternal vaccination and monoclonal antibodies, and interpret recent outcome data.
  • Integrate these evidence-based updates into daily pediatric practice to improve clinical decision-making and patient care.
