The 2025 PALS Instructor Manual gives you everything you need to confidently teach the Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Course, PALS Update Course, and the HeartCode® PALS hands-on session. Updated to match the 2025 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and ECC, this manual supports both classroom-based and blended-learning formats for new and renewing instructors.
