The PALS Program is designed to stress early recognition and management of potentially life threatening situations in the pediatric patient rather than merely "running code". Through the use of STRESS FREE case based scenarios and interactive skills stations, participants will receive instruction in the recognition and management of respiratory failure and shock; basic life support and airway management, rhythm disturbances, vascular access, trauma and managing cardiopulmonary arrest in the infant and child.
