AHA Pediatric Advanced Life Support Program (PALS)
The goal of the PALS course is to aid pediatric health care providers in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children. 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, fluid bolus administration and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
AHA Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS)
In this classroom-based, instructor-led course, students learn how to use a systematic approach to quickly assess, recognize the cause and stabilize a pediatric patient in an emergency situation. During PEARS training, students interact with real patient cases and realistic simulations and animations to assess and stabilize pediatric patients experiencing respiratory and shock emergencies and cardiopulmonary arrest. PEARS prepares students to provide appropriate lifesaving interventions within the initial minutes of response until a child can be transferred to an advanced life support provider.
Best Practices in Procedural and Coping Support for Pediatric Patients
This course is designed to provide health care providers at all practice levels with the latest information from child life specialists. We will cover how to help pediatric patients and families feel more comfortable and in control of their health care experience in any practice setting.
Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)
The NRP course offers an algorithm-based approach to the immediate care and resuscitation of the stressed or sick neonate. Upon completion, participants will gain the knowledge and skills for neonatal resuscitation.
Pediatric Tracheostomies, Mechanical Ventilation and Respiratory Support Equipment
This four-hour course for the pediatric acute care nurse provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system and a review of respiratory deficits and why mechanical ventilation is needed. An overview of home ventilators, tracheostomy tubes, oxygenation, humidification and suctioning is provided. Hands-on practice with equipment is included.
