Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

Advanced emergency response for pediatric patients

This course prepares learners to respond to life-threatening emergencies in pediatric patients using advanced interventions, built around the latest guidelines that emphasize coordinated, simultaneous action within a resuscitation team.

What you'll cover

• Foundational theory: Basic Life Support, and the anatomy and physiology of the heart
• How to work effectively as part of a resuscitation team
• A systematic approach to identifying life-threatening issues
• Medical devices, plus managing bradycardia and tachycardia

The course package includes PALS self-assessments and review questions, a PALS Provider Handbook, and numerous lecture and video presentations.

Who it's for

Advanced-level learners training specifically in Pediatric Advanced Life Support, whether preparing for certification or reinforcing existing clinical knowledge.

Key takeaway

The emphasis throughout is on a systematic, group-based process — minimizing error by structuring how a team moves through a pediatric emergency, not just what each intervention does.
