FAST Session: Reducing the Pucker Factor (Through Improving Pediatric Readiness)

Reducing the Pucker Factor is a condensed, rapid-fire, 20-minute session designed to tackle one of the biggest stress points in EMS: pediatric emergencies. In just 20 minutes, attendees will explore why stress changes clinical decision-making, how preparation shapes calm under pressure, and what simple, concrete actions can be implemented at the agency level to improve pediatric readiness and reduce the pucker factor at the provider level.
Short, sharp, and focused—this session is built to lower anxiety, elevate readiness, and help every provider walk away feeling more capable when caring for their smallest, sickest patients.
