| Description: |
The Full Provider format is designed for those participants who have never taken PALS, or have prior certifications that are lapsed. The goal of the PALS Course is to provide the learner with (1) information needed to recognize infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest; (2) information and strategies needed to prevent cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children; and (3) the cognitive and psychomotor skills needed to resuscitate and stabilize infants and children in respiratory failure, shock, or cardiopulmonary arrest. Registrants are encouraged but not required to have completed a BLS HCP course within the previous 2 years. |
