Description

Pediatric Advanced Life Support “PALS” is an advanced, instructor-led classroom course that prepares participants to improve outcomes for pediatric patients by preparing healthcare providers to effectively recognize and intervene in patients with respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest by using high-performance team dynamics and high-quality individual skills.

Participants use the systematic approach, including initial, primary, and secondary assessments, to identify pediatric medical emergencies and provide intervention strategies to resolve pediatric emergencies. Participants are strongly encouraged to have a working knowledge of pediatric settings, including treating respiratory, shock, and cardiovascular manifestations. The skills are taught in large and small group sessions with testing stations with case-based scenarios completed by each participant.

A PALS Provider Manual is required to take this course. The PALS initial course is 16 hours and is completed in a hybrid format with the Heartcode PALS followed by a skills check required for the hands-on portion of the class at the Training Center.

Purchase the PALS Heartcode video from ShopCPR.com and complete it before attending the in-person skills check at our training center. You must bring a copy of your PALS Heartcode course completion certificate.
