What Does Pediatric First Aid and CPR Training in Texas Include?

October 21, 2025

Every parent, caregiver, and professional who works with children knows that emergencies can strike when you least expect them. A child choking, a sudden fall, or an accidental burn can happen in a flash. That’s why pediatric first aid and CPR certification in Texas isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential. Texas OnSite CPR brings these life-saving skills directly to your workplace, home, or organization, making training convenient, practical, and hands-on.

Our training sessions are designed to be engaging, informative, and tailored to the unique needs of adults caring for children. Whether you’re running a daycare, managing a school, or simply want to be prepared as a parent, our classes give you the confidence to act quickly and correctly in critical moments.

Comprehensive Coverage of Pediatric First Aid

Pediatric first aid goes beyond simple bandages. At Texas OnSite CPR, our certified instructors provide step-by-step guidance on how to handle a wide range of child-related emergencies. You’ll learn how to:

  • Assess a child’s condition quickly and effectively
  • Treat cuts, scrapes, burns, and minor injuries

CPR Skills Tailored for Infants and Children

CPR isn’t a one-size-fits-all skill. Infants, toddlers, and older children all require slightly different techniques. During our pediatric first aid and CPR classes, you’ll gain practical experience with:

  • Infant CPR, including chest compressions and rescue breaths
  • Child CPR for toddlers and young children
  • Recognizing choking emergencies and performing the Heimlich maneuver safely
  • Using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) specifically for children

Our instructors guide you through each step with manikins and realistic scenarios. This hands-on approach ensures that you leave the class confident and capable, ready to handle emergencies calmly and efficiently.

Scenario-Based Training for Real-World Preparedness

Texas OnSite CPR takes pride in creating a spirited and interactive training environment. Our classes are not just about reading manuals; they’re about preparing you for real-life situations. You’ll participate in role-playing exercises and emergency simulations that challenge you to think on your feet.

By the end of the session, you’ll understand how to:

  • Assess an emergency scene quickly
  • Prioritize care based on the severity of injuries
  • Work effectively with other caregivers or responders
  • Remain calm under pressure

This approach ensures that knowledge sticks and can be applied when seconds matter most.
