Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
$149.99
PALS, also known as Pediatric Advanced Life Support, is a vital continuing education course created for healthcare workers capable of leading or aiding in CPR for children in emergency circumstances. It allows healthcare practitioners to improve their knowledge and hands-on abilities in emergency cardiovascular care. The curriculum for the program is based on Barbara J. Aehlert, RN, BSPA’s PALS Study Guide, 4th Edition, which serves as the official book for the course. This training program guarantees that learners are up to speed on the newest improvements in pediatric life support by complying with the AHA Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC in 2020.
PALS employs scenario-based learning, which enables healthcare workers to practice and fine-tune their abilities through realistic case scenarios. This method enables students to develop critical thinking skills and make informed decisions under duress. CPR skills, cardiac and respiratory emergencies, and good team communication are among the topics covered in this training.
PALS participants can broaden their knowledge, build confidence, and increase their capacity to give life-saving interventions to children in need. This curriculum is critical to providing healthcare personnel with the knowledge and abilities needed to properly address pediatric crises.
Remember that PALS is a required course for healthcare workers who wish to improve their pediatric emergency response abilities and give the best treatment possible to children in critical situations.
Individuals must have prior training and skills in specified areas in order to participate in a PALS session. First and foremost, they must be able to provide high-quality pediatric basic life support (PBLS), which includes vital life-saving methods for children. Participants should also be able to read and understand basic electrocardiograms (ECGs), which aid in measuring heart function. Finally, a solid understanding of basic resuscitation pharmacology, including the formulation and administration of critical drugs, is required.
These prerequisites guarantee that participants have a strong basis upon which to develop during the PALS course, allowing them to offer competent emergency care for children in need.
Remember, PALS programs are intended to supplement your existing abilities and provide you with the knowledge and confidence to respond to pediatric crises competently and compassionately.
