Eisen voor reanimatie en EHBO voor kinderopvang

First Aid & CPR Rhode Island

Als u in de kinderopvang werkt in Rhode Island — of het nu in een kinderdagverblijf, peuterspeelzaal, thuisopvang of kamp is — is de certificering in EHBO en reanimatie niet optioneel. Het is een vergunningsvereiste, en terecht: kinderen behoren tot de meest kwetsbaren voor verstikking, allergische reacties en verwondingen. Voorbereid zijn om in te grijpen kan alles veranderen.

Wat Rhode Island vereist

Rhode Island requires every staff member to be trained under the most recent national resuscitation guidelines in pediatric CPR and in pediatric first aid, under 218-RICR-70-00-1 for child care center licensure. Online training is not accepted for CPR, which must include an in-person, hands-on component, though online delivery is accepted for pediatric first aid. At least one staff member trained in the Heimlich maneuver for infants and toddlers must be on-site at all times, with renewal every two years, under the Department of Human Services / DCYF, Child Care Licensing.

Anafylaxie en medicatietoediening

Under 218-RICR-70-00-1, prescription and over-the-counter medication requires written parental permission with a prescriber order and storage behind child safety locks, while infants' and toddlers' rescue medications may be kept unlocked but out of reach, and school-age children may self-carry epinephrine with documentation. This keeps a child's autoinjector reachable in an emergency, and it works best alongside an individual allergy action plan and staff trained to recognize anaphylaxis and act immediately.
