PALS

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) includes a series of algorithmic medical procedures and techniques designed for the urgent treatment of respiratory emergencies, cardiac arrest and other life threatening situations. The course expands upon basic life support with more advanced skills such as Electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythm interpretation for core PALS rhythms, airway management and appropriate adjuncts, PALS drugs and pharmacology, practical application of PALS rhythms and drugs, and effective high-performance team skills for Basic Life Support and PALS. Many hospitals and other medical facilities require this advanced training for anyone who may work with pediatric cardiac patients.

This course is nationally accredited in joint partnership with the Postgraduate Institution of Medicine. Upon course completion, you will receive 8 CEU/CME credits.

Because good Pediatric Basic Life Support (BLS) skills are foundational to PALS skills, a BLS certification is strongly encouraged, or in most cases, a pre-requisite for taking the PALS certification. In addition, participants who enter the ProPALS course are required to have already obtained the basic knowledge and skills in Advanced Life Support.
