The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) comprehensive provider course is focused on early recognition of respiratory failure and shock, and prevention and treatment of cardiopulmonary arrest in children. The two-day provider course is for participants taking the course for the first time or for those with expired certification. The one-day, 10-hour provider course is designed for the experienced pediatric healthcare provider who has a firm knowledge base of assessment and management of respiratory failure, shock and cardiac rhythm disturbances, with advanced resuscitation of infants and children, including skills in advanced airway management, vascular access, performance of basic life support, cardiac rhythm recognition, and electrical and medical therapy. A one-day renewal course for health professionals with current certification is also available. Classes fill quickly; register early. Visit our Web site for online registration. For further information, call Jennifer Walker at 206-987-6772.
The PALS Provider Course and PALS Renewal Course follow the curriculum developed by the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Upon successful completion, participants will be granted a PALS card through the American Heart Association designated Training Center. Current BLS for Health Care Provider certification is highly recommended for all participants.
