The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification,

The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification, developed by the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, focuses on the priorities in assessment and management of the ill or injured child. The practical application of cognitive and psycho-motor skills in pediatric resuscitation situations is emphasized during practice case scenarios. Healthcare workers take part in a review of the current PALS science and resuscitation team concepts. PALS instructors, representing multi-disciplinary specialties, with expertise in the care of children, will present information in a lively and “user friendly” format. Participants will have an opportunity to practice emergency techniques such as intra-osseous needle insertion, ventilation of a child with a bag valve mask, endotracheal intubation and cardio- version/defibrillation of a child.
