Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

 Our program follows American Heart Association guidelines and is designed for professionals who care for pediatric patients in emergency, intensive care and pre‑hospital settings.

This course is intended for:

• Paramedics, nurses and physicians working in pediatric emergency departments, NICUs, PICUs and critical care transport
• Respiratory therapists and physician assistants
• Pediatric hospitalists and fellows
• Healthcare providers in rural or community hospitals who may be called on to stabilize pediatric patients
   

Participants must hold current BLS certification and complete the online PALS pre‑course assessment.

During the PALS course you will learn to:

• Recognize respiratory emergencies, shock and cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children.
• Perform high‑quality BLS skills for pediatric patients and integrate them into advanced care.
• Use high‑performance team dynamics to improve outcomes.
• Practice assessment, decision making and communication through case‑based scenarios and simulations.
• Deliver post‑resuscitation care and debriefing.

• Traditional classroom: A 4 hour refresher or 8 hour initial course using videos, skill stations and simulations. 

Students receive the AHA PALS Provider Manual and access to practice scenarios. Successful participants earn a two‑year AHA PALS Provider e‑card, issued the same day.

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training at CPR Plus LLC is led by an instructor with real experience managing pediatric emergencies. Lessons combine clinical insight with hands-on practice using high-quality pediatric manikins to reinforce advanced lifesaving skills.

Small class sizes allow for personal feedback and confidence-building practice. For hospitals and healthcare teams, on-site training and bundled certification options—including BLS renewal and ACLS—make scheduling simple and efficient.
