++The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Provider course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS for Healthcare Provider skills, emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR. This advanced course highlights the importance of team dynamics and communication, systems of care, and immediate post-cardiac arrest care. PALS also covers airway management, arrhythmia identification and management, and related pharmacologic intervention.
Significant precourse preparation is essential to the course success, including proficiency in basic life support, and cardiac rhythm identification. To successfully complete this course, the student must pass an online exam with a score of 84% or higher as well as successfully demonstrate the following physical skills: an adult basic life support skills test, airway management test, and two Megacode testing scenarios as either a team leader or team member.
