Description
The PALS Instructor Manual eBook includes essential information and Lesson Plans that PALS Instructors need to teach the PALS Course, PALS Update Course and provide skills practice and testing for HeartCode® PALS. The PALS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2015 AHA Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC. The PALS Course uses a series of videos and simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation and team dynamics. The goal of the PALS Course is to improve the quality of care provided to seriously ill or injured children, resulting in improved outcomes.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
• Perform high-quality Child CPR AED and Infant CPR per AHA BLS recommendations
• Differentiate between patients who do and do not require immediate intervention
• Recognize cardiopulmonary arrest early and begin CPR within 10 seconds
• Apply team dynamics
• Differentiate between respiratory distress and failure
• Perform early interventions for respiratory distress and failure
• Differentiate between compensated and decompensated (hypotensive) shock
• Perform early interventions for the treatment of shock
• Differentiate between unstable and stable patients with arrhythmias
• Describe clinical characteristics of instability in patients with arrhythmias
• Implement post–cardiac arrest management
Please note: Because this book is electronic, there are no separate supplementary tools included. All supplementary tools included with the printed version (e.g., Instructor Manual CD) are accessible electronically through the AHA Instructor Network (www.ahainstructornetwork.org).

The PALS Instructor Manual eBook is for use by PALS Instructors teaching the PALS Course, PALS Update Course, or conducting hands-on sessions for HeartCode PALS. Each Instructor must have his/her own copy of the Instructor manual (either in print or electronic format) for teaching the PALS Course. The AHA’s PALS Course is for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the management of respiratory and/or cardiovascular emergencies and cardiopulmonary arrest in pediatric patients. This includes personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care, and critical care units such as physicians, nurses, paramedics, and others who need a PALS course completion card for job or other requirements.
