Introduction:

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) is a specialized training program aimed at equipping healthcare providers with the knowledge, skills, and protocols necessary to effectively manage pediatric emergencies and improve outcomes for critically ill or injured children. PALS builds upon the foundation of Basic Life Support (BLS) principles and extends into advanced interventions tailored specifically to the pediatric population.

At Universal CPR Pro Association, our PALS course is essential for healthcare providers who care for pediatric patients in various settings, including emergency departments, pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), general wards, and prehospital environments.

PALS holds significant importance in facilitating prompt and efficient management of pediatric emergencies, empowering healthcare providers to administer top-tier care to children in critical conditions. Through prioritizing swift identification, intervention, and collaborative teamwork, PALS contributes to enhancing outcomes and preserving lives in pediatric patients grappling with life-threatening emergencies, adhering closely to guidelines established by International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and the American Heart Association.
