Unit 1: General Concepts of PALS
(Introduction)
Unit 2: Evaluation of Child
Review methods of evaluating child state and overview intervention techniques
Unit 3: Team Dynamics
Learn resuscitation procedures in single-provider and multiple-provider scenarios
Unit 4: Recognition of Respiratory Distress/Failure
Recognize signs of respiratory distress that could deteriorate into respiratory failure if not addressed
Unit 5: Management of Respiratory Distress/Failure
Actions to overcome each type of respiratory distress
Unit 6: Recognition of Shock
Shock is a condition that occurs when oxygen and nutrient delivery to the tissues is inadequate
Unit 7: Management of Shock
The goals in management of shock are to improve oxygen delivery to the tissues
Unit 8: Recognition/Management of Bradycardia
Bradycardia is defined as a heart rate slower than normal for the child's age and activity level
Unit 9: Recognition/Management of Tachycardia
Tachycardia is a faster than normal heart rhythm that can be tolerated but may deteriorate to shock or cardiac arrest
Unit 10: Recognition/Management of Cardiac Arrest
Recognize the cardiac arrest rhythms
Unit 11: Pediatric Post Resuscitation Management
Avoid shock and other relapse after resuscitation
Unit 12: Pharmacology in Resuscitation
Review pharmacological options, doses, possible side effects and other considerations
Unit 13: Rhythm Recognition
