Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course was developed jointly by the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics for training of health care providers who may be required to resuscitate children. It focuses on recognition and initial care of unstable pediatric patients, and also covers the management of children who have already suffered arrest. This class focuses on pediatric care in the inpatient setting. Physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists who practice in an emergency department, pediatric ward or ICU, operating room, or other inpatient setting where children may receive care are encouraged to enroll in this class. Pediatric dentists and pharmacists who participate in pediatric resuscitation may also benefit from this class. Learning objectives are to enable participants to recognize unstable children and to begin aggressive resuscitation before an arrest occurs; to teach key resuscitation skills, including bag-and-mask ventilation, intubation, and intraosseous needle placement, familiarity with pediatric drug doses, and recognition and management of common pediatric dysrrhythmias to promote an organized response to critically ill or injured children, so that key interventions are accomplished in timely fashion while preparations are undertaken to assure rapid transfer to a PICU or other site of definitive care, to assist providers with management of the tragedy of a child’s death.
