Pediatric Advanced Life Support

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) is a specialized emergency training for healthcare providers to help children experiencing life-threatening health issues, like cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. It teaches techniques for assessing, breathing support, CPR, and advanced interventions tailored to children’s unique needs. The goal is to quickly recognize problems, stabilize the child's condition, and effectively manage emergencies to improve survival and outcomes. PALS emphasizes teamwork, timely action, and understanding pediatric-specific vital signs and responses, ensuring providers are prepared to deliver critical care confidently in urgent situations involving children.
