EMC 043A — Pediatric Advanced Life Support PALS (Lecture)
This is Part one of a two part series. HeartCode PALS is the AHA's blended learning delivery method for the AHA's PALS Course. HeartCode blended learning delivers quality resuscitation education regardless of where providers are located and gives them more control to complete the course at their own pace. Providers first complete the online portion of HeartCode PALS and then complete a hands-on skills session with an AHA PALS Instructor or a HeartCode compatible manikin. The course content is presented in the form of self-directed learning content, probing questions, and Cognitive Assessment Activities (CAAs). The PALS Course is for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the management of respiratory and/or cardiovascular emergencies and cardiopulmonary arrest in pediatric patients. This includes personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care, and critical care units, such as physicians, nurses, paramedics, and others who need a PALS Course Completion Card for jobs or other requirements.
