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.
