Course Description:
The completely redesigned American Heart Association Pediatric
Advanced Life Support course is based on new science evidence from
the 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC and a new teaching

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.

physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics,
respiratory therapists, and other healthcare providers who initiate
and direct advanced life support in pediatric emergencies.
