You will get your ACLS card right after the class which is valid for 2 years. We will explain everything in a way to easily understand and remember.
ACLS RENEWAL covers the core principles, including:
- BLS Review: Basic Life Support (BLS). 1 and 2 Rescuer High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants, use of a Bag Valve Mask (BVM), use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and relief of choking.
- Systematic Approach: Assessment, Identification of rhythms, and appropriate interventions. Effective team dynamics, Roles, and Responsibilities during a resuscitation, Management of a patient in cardiac arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies.
- Rhythm Recognition and Scenarios: Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), as well as non-shockable rhythms like Asystole and Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA). Sinus Bradycardia and Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
- Electrical Therapy: Defibrillation, Cardioversion, and Pacing.
- Pharmacology: Indications, Dosages, and Administration routes of Atropine, Amiodarone, Adenosine, Epinephrine, and Dopamine.
- Post-Cardiac Arrest Care: Critical care following Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), including targeted temperature management and other post-cardiac arrest interventions.
The PALS RENEWAL course is stress free and relaxed. It is updated with the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association. We will explain everything in a way that is easy to understand and remember. It is designed for pediatricians, emergency physicians, family physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare providers who initiate and direct advanced life support in pediatric emergencies.

The PALS RENEWAL course teaches:
- Pediatric Assessment: Systematically assess pediatric patients, identify potential life-threatening conditions, and prioritize interventions based on the child's condition. This class goes over how to recognize infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest
- Basic Life Support (BLS) Skills: The course covers high-quality CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) for infants, children, and adults, including chest compressions, rescue breaths, and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
- Pediatric Algorithms: Participants are taught PALS-specific algorithms and flowcharts for managing various pediatric emergencies, such as respiratory distress, respiratory failure, bradycardia, tachycardia, and cardiac arrest.
- Respiratory Emergencies: The class covers the recognition and management of respiratory distress, respiratory failure, and respiratory arrest in pediatric patients.
- Cardiac Arrest Management: Participants learn the steps to manage cardiac arrest in infants and children, including the use of appropriate medications, defibrillation, and advanced airway management.
- Vascular Access: Techniques for obtaining vascular access in pediatric patients are taught, including intraosseous (IO) access and peripheral intravenous (IV) access.
- Pharmacology: The course covers the indications, dosages, and administration of medications used during pediatric resuscitation, such as epinephrine, amiodarone, and atropine.
- Bradycardia and Tachycardia Management: Participants learn to identify and manage various heart rhythms associated with bradycardia and tachycardia in pediatric patients.
- Post-Cardiac Arrest Care: The class covers critical care following successful resuscitation, including post-cardiac arrest interventions and targeted temperature management.
- Team Dynamics: Effective communication and teamwork during pediatric emergencies are emphasized to ensure efficient and coordinated care.
