Section Notes

 

- Be prepared to pass the Child CPR and AED Skills Testing Checklist and Infant CPR Skills Testing Checklist. You will not be taught how to do CPR or how to use an AED during the course. The resuscitation scenarios require that your BLS skills and knowledge are current. Review and understand all 2020 BLS guidelines, especially as they relate to pediatric patients. You may find this information in the BLS Provider Manual or in other publications based on the 2020 AHA Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (see cpr.heart.org).

- Review and understand the information in your PALS Provider Manual and in the Student Resources. Pay particular attention to the systematic approach to pediatric assessment, the evaluate-identify-intervene sequence, and the management of respiratory and circulatory abnormalities.

What This Course Does Not Cover

The PALS Course does not teach CPR, ECG rhythm identification, PALS pharmacology, or algorithms. If you do not review CPR and if you do not learn and understand the ECG and pharmacology information in the precourse self-assessment, it is unlikely that you can successfully complete the PALS Course. You will not be taught how to read or interpret ECG rhythm strips in the course, nor will you be taught details about PALS pharmacology.

It is essential that you bring your PALS Provider Manual to class; you will need it during each lesson. Available for Purchase 305-237-4027

You may refer to the 2020 Handbook of Emergency Cardiovascular Care for Healthcare Providers (optional), and you may bring it to class to use as a reference during some of the stations in the course.

What to Wear

Please wear loose, comfortable appropriate clothing. You will be practicing skills that require you to work on your hands and knees, and the course requires bending, standing, and lifting. If you have any physical conditions that might prevent you from engaging in these activities, please tell an instructor. The instructor may be able to adjust the equipment if you have back, knee, or hip problems.

We look forward to welcoming you on (day and date of class). If you have any questions about the course, please call 305-237-4177

Sincerely,

Continuing Education and Professional Development; Medical Campus
