Step 1. Complete an interactive, online education component.

The first online education component to be offered in the PEPP Renewal Course is Pediatric Respiratory Emergencies. This component is the culmination of the best and most recent educational technology available. Developed using the latest Macromedia Flash™ technology, this innovative online education component explores pediatric respiratory emergencies and is divided into five sections:

1. General Principles
2. Upper Airway Obstruction
3. Lower Airway Obstruction
4. Diseases of the Lungs
5. Case Studies

Each section will provide you with a brief overview of the concepts presented in the initial PEPP Course, followed by an in-depth look into pediatric respiratory emergencies. Once you have progressed through the content of the section, several challenging interactivities will test your retention of the material presented. After successfully completing the interactivities in each section, you will proceed to the final online exam. After passing the final online exam and successfully completing the online education component, you will be asked to refresh your hands-on pediatric skills with a PEPP Course Coordinator in your area.
