Pediatric Skills Session

I went to an open pediatric skills lab run by one of the pediatric ICU attendings, and it was a lot of fun. I spent most of my time practicing intubation on pediatric mannequins. I found it especially useful to try different laryngoscope blades just to see the practical differences with size and Mac vs. Miller blades. I had a lot of time to just troubleshoot with the models. I also practiced phlebotomy, IVs, and arterial lines on the pediatric models. It was very productive and worthwhile.
