PALS - Pediatric Advanced Life Support

Designed for pediatricians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, emergency physicians, and other healthcare providers who care for infants and children, the PALS course teaches participants:

• to recognize infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest
• strategies needed to prevent cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children
• skills needed to resuscitate and stabilize infants and children in respiratory failure, shock, or cardiopulmonary arrest.

The PALS Study Guide and pretest will be e-mailed to you following registration for your PALS class.

PALS Training

Children are special.  Many pediatric emergencies develop due to trauma or respiratory causes.  While there are many similarities between ACLS and PALS, there are certain things that are very different and unique to this young population.  This PALS course will teach you how to treat pediatric emergencies both in and out of hospital settings.
