Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

The AHA’s PALS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2020 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 seriously ill or injured children, resulting in improved outcomes.

  • High-quality Child CPR AED and Infant CPR
  • Recognition of patients who do and do not require immediate intervention
  • Recognition of cardiopulmonary arrest early and application CPR within 10 seconds

The PALS Course does not teach ECG rhythm recognition or pharmacology. If you do not learn and understand the ECG and pharmacology information in the Precourse Self-Assessment, it is unlikely you can successfully complete the PALS Course.

Course Pre-requisites:

  • Must complete PALS pre-test and bring a copy of completion to class (elearning.heart.org)
  • Basic understanding of EKG's and pharmacology is necessary for successful completion.
  • Current PALS Provider card (PALS Renewals Only)
