Advanced Pediatric Life Support (APLS)

Advanced Pediatric Life Support (APLS) is a specialized training program for healthcare providers that teaches them how to assess and manage critically ill or injured children. It covers techniques such as airway management, breathing support, circulation stabilization, and emergency procedures, all tailored to children's unique anatomy and physiology. The goal is to improve outcomes during emergencies by ensuring timely, effective, and coordinated care. APLS combines evidence-based practices with simulations to prepare medical teams for high-pressure situations involving children, ultimately aiming to save lives and reduce complications in pediatric emergencies.
