Details:
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</p> <p><strong>Pre-course
Requirements </strong></p> <p> -- You must have a current
PALS Provider Manual for class. <br> -- Pre-test required for class.
<br> -- 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 <br> -- 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. <br> -- 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. <br> -- 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.
