[CSEMSmail] Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Course Announcements

[Matt Lawler]

 Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)	
The completely redesigned American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced
Life Support course is based on new science evidence from the 2005 AHA
Guidelines for CPR and ECC and a new teaching methodology. The goal of
the PALS course is to aid the pediatric healthcare provider in
developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and
effectively manage critically ill infants and children, resulting in
improved outcomes. Skills taught include recognition and treatment of
infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest; the systematic
approach to pediatric assessment; effective respiratory management;
defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion; intraosseous access and
fluid bolus administration; and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
