Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Guidelines

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) guidelines provide healthcare professionals with protocols for responding to pediatric emergencies, especially in cases of cardiac arrest and severe respiratory distress. These guidelines emphasize recognizing early signs of deteriorating health, performing high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), using defibrillators properly, and delivering medications when necessary. PALS also focuses on effective team communication and systematic assessment to enhance patient outcomes. The goal is to stabilize and support critically ill children until they can receive further medical treatment.
