PALS RENEWAL covers the core principles of:
- Pediatric Assessment: Systematically assess pediatric patients, identify potential life-threatening conditions, and prioritize interventions based on the child's condition.
- 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.
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.
