Pediatric Advanced Life Support Renewal - #37092
About This Event
- Event Type:CPR Training
- Max Capacity:8
The completely redesigned American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support Recertification course is based on new science evidence from the 2015 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC and a new teaching methodology. The goal of the PALS course is to aid the pediatric healthcare provider in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children, resulting in improved outcomes. Skills taught include recognition and treatment of infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest; they systematic approach to pediatric assessment; effective respiratory management; defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion; intraosseous access and fluid bolus administration; and effective resuscitation team dynamics
Pre-course Requirements
-- You must have a current PALS Provider Manual for class.
-- Pre-test required for class.
-- CPR competency: Be prepared to pass the child 1-rescuer CPR/AED and
infant 1- and 2-rescuer CPR skills test. You will not be taught how to
do CPR or how to use an AED during the course. You must know this in advance.
The resuscitation scenarios require that your BLS skills and knowledge
are current. Review and understand all BLS 2015 guidelines, especially
as they relate to the pediatric patient. You may find this information
in the BLS for Healthcare Providers manual or in other AHA guidelines
publications
-- PALS algorithms and flowcharts: Be familiar with the PALS algorithms
and flowcharts so that you can apply them to clinical scenarios. Note
that the PALS course does not present the details of each algorithm.
-- Practice cases: Work through the practice cases located on the student
CD to familiarize yourself with the "assess-categorize-decide-act"
model taught in the course. As you read through each case, try to answer
the questions. Check your answers to make sure you understand the concepts.
-- Supplement your knowledge: Review and understand the information in
the PALS Provider Manual, the PALS Course Guide, and the student CD. Pay
particular attention to the systematic approach to pediatric assessment,
the “assess-categorize-decide-act” model, and the management
of respiratory and circulatory abnormalities.
