PALS Renewal with BLS for Healthcare Providers

Prime CPR Services teaches the American Heart Association (AHA) PALS RENEWAL (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) class in combination with the BLS for Healthcare Providers renewal class. This course is intended for healthcare professionals who have previously completed the PALS course and BLS course and is in need to refresh and renew their certifications. This class is focused on equipping healthcare providers with the necessary skills to handle critical situations involving infants and children. Eligible participants may include doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics, EMTs, respiratory therapists, physician assistants, medical and nursing students, and other allied healthcare professionals who regularly care for pediatric patients.

  PALS RENEWAL covers the core principles, including:

• 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.
