Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization (PEARS) gives healthcare professionals the know-how to evaluate and stabilize young patients facing emergency situations.
PEARS is a set of techniques used to treat pediatric patients with life-threatening injuries or illness. During PEARS training, you’ll learn important pediatric assessment skills, how to recognize respiratory problems, proper resuscitation methods, and more.
When an infant or child is dealing with serious illness or injury, every second counts. When you’ve completed the PEARS training, you’ll know what to do in those critical moments before first responders arrive.
PEARS is used to recognize and, ideally, stabilize young patients facing severe illness or injury. When using PEARS, you might utilize a variety of healthcare techniques such as shock management or CPR.

I spent 15 years as a firefighter and paramedic, and I wish everyone in healthcare knew PEARS.
Let’s face it. Kids show their symptoms differently than adults. They compensate longer and crash quicker. Typically pediatric emergencies are not as common, so it’s even more important to be prepared. If you have PEARS training, you’re able to recognize the emergency and act before it is too late. Those first few heart-wrenching moments are crucial. Knowing PEARS and administering care right away could make all the difference for someone’s child.
PEARS stands for pediatric emergency assessment, recognition, and stabilization.
The goal of PEARS is to improve the outcome and care for pediatric patients facing serious illnesses or injuries until they can receive advanced care.
PEARS covers initial recognition, assessment, and care for young patients immediately following an emergency, generally targeted at those who do not frequently see seriously ill or injured patients. PALS addresses advanced life support methods used by advanced care providers.
To become a PEARS instructor, you need to be a certified medical professional who has in-field experience using the techniques. If you’re interested in joining the SureFire CPR team, contact us.
Before taking a PEARS course, you should have a solid understanding of infant and child BLS skills, such as how to perform CPR and use an AED.
