Overview of Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) is a specialized training program designed for healthcare professionals to manage critical pediatric emergencies. The course focuses on systematic assessment, early recognition, and advanced interventions for respiratory distress, shock, and cardiac arrest in infants and children.
PALS training includes airway management, effective CPR techniques, rhythm recognition, medication administration, and team-based resuscitation strategies. Accredited by leading organizations such as the American Heart Association (AHA), this certification is essential for doctors, nurses, paramedics, and critical care providers who handle pediatric emergencies. The certification remains valid for two years, ensuring healthcare professionals stay up to date with the latest life-saving techniques.
