PALS Model

The PALS (Paediatric Advanced Life Support) model is a structured approach used by healthcare professionals to efficiently assess and treat seriously ill or injured children. It emphasizes quick, systematic steps: confirming safety, evaluating the child's responsiveness, checking breathing and circulation, and then providing appropriate interventions like CPR or advanced airway management. The goal is to stabilize the child's condition as rapidly as possible while ensuring all actions are coordinated and evidence-based, maximizing the chances of recovery. PALS helps teams act confidently during pediatric emergencies by providing clear guidelines and teamwork strategies.
