Pediatric Advanced Life Support PALS
A series of simulated pediatric emergencies help teach a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation and team dynamics.
The AHA’s PALS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2015 AHA Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC. This classroom, Instructor-led course uses a series of videos and simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics. The goal of the PALS Course is to improve the quality of care provided to critically ill or injured pediatric patients, resulting in improved outcomes
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) is a classroom, video-based, Instructor-led course that uses a series of simulated real-life pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment and treatment. Life Stat is an American Heart Association training site for Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). We provide 2 day PALS Provider and 1 day PALS Renewal Courses. Our second day of each 2 day Provider Course is a Renewal Course for those who hold a current AHA PALS Provider card.
