Product Description

The PALS Instructor Manual contains all the information needed to teach the PALS course, PALS Update Course, and conduct the hands-on session for HeartCode® PALS. The PALS Instructor Manual provides information for teaching the AHA PALS Course on an initial or renewal basis, including classroom-based and blended-learning options. It has been updated to reflect new science in the 2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC.  The PALS Provider Course is designed for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the management of respiratory and/or cardiovascular emergencies and cardiopulmonary arrest in pediatric patients. This course uses pre-course preparation, didactic instruction, and active participation in learning stations and simulated cases to enhance the recognition and intervention of respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest.
