Pediatric Advanced Life Support features an instructor-led classroom setting with hands-on, simulation-based training reflecting the newly released 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC. The course emphasizes early recognition of pediatric emergencies, high-performance team dynamics, and practical skills application.
Key Things to Expect
- 2025 Guideline Updates: The course will incorporate the latest science and education from the 2025 guidelines. A key focus is on early recognition and rapid intervention for respiratory failure and shock in pediatric patients before they escalate to cardiac arrest, with clear emphasis on system pathways and handoffs.
- Interactive Learning: A mix of instructor-led discussions, video-based modules, and hands-on practice stations using mannequins.
- Case Scenarios and Simulations: The core of the training involves simulated pediatric emergencies (megacodes) where you will practice clinical decision-making, apply algorithms, and perform as both a team member and a leader.
- Skill Proficiency: You will engage in meaningful skills practice on topics including:
- Pediatric assessment (systematic approach)
- Basic Life Support (BLS) for infants and children
- Airway management and respiratory emergencies
- Rhythm recognition and defibrillation
- Pharmacology (medication use and dosages)
- Post-cardiac arrest management
- Team Dynamics: Significant emphasis is placed on effective communication, role clarity, and high-performance team dynamics to improve outcomes.
Preparation and Completion
- Prerequisites: Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of pediatric BLS, ECG rhythm interpretation, and common emergency medications prior to the course.
- Pre-Course Work: Completion of a mandatory online pre-course self-assessment and review of pre-reading materials is required to ensure readiness for advanced topics.
- Successful Completion Requirements: To pass the course, you must:
- Provide proof of successful completion of the pre-course work.
- Actively participate in learning stations and simulated scenarios.
- Successfully perform as a team leader in pediatric emergency scenarios.
- Pass a written examination, with a score of at least 84%.
- Certification: Upon successful completion, you will receive an official AHA PALS eCard good for 2 years.
