About

This online course is about understanding and assessing mild to moderate breathing problems in children. It teaches how to recognize signs of respiratory distress, such as fast breathing, wheezing, or using extra muscles to breathe. It stresses the importance of checking a child's oxygen levels and other vital signs. It provides guidance for healthcare providers on how to evaluate these symptoms effectively and when it might be necessary to seek further medical help. The goal is to ensure that children receive the right care quickly if they are having trouble breathing.
