The American Heart Association's PALS course is designed for pediatricians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, emergency physicians and other healthcare providers who care for infants and children. This course is video-led that uses a series of simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systemic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics. The goal of the PALS course is to improve the quality of care provided for seriously ill or injured children and infants, resulting in improved outcomes.
HeartCode PALS is the AHA's blended learning delivery method for the AHA's PALS course. Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, followed by a hands-on session.
HeartCode PALS is a self-directed, comprehensive eLearning program that uses eSimulation technology to allow students to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings. Enter the course, and students will then be presented with a team dynamics lesson and 10 in-hospital patient cases, including a BLS case and 2 Megacode cases. The cases may be repeated as many times as necessary to pass. Upon successful completion of all the patient cases, students will take a 50-question multiple choice exam and must pass with a minimum score of 84%. There are a variety of additional videos as well as the PALS Provider Manual to enhance learning and facilitate successful completion of the patient cases.
The PALS course covers
Systemic approach to pediatric assessment
Management of pediatric respiratory emergencies
Vascular access (including intraosseous training)
Airway management
PALS pharmacology
Basic Life Support review
Rhythm disturbances and electrical therapy

No other payment will be needed. Once you complete your eLearning training and have printed out your certificate of completion with a minimum score of an 84%, contact us to set up a skills session
PALS HeartCode and BLS Combined Course: It's always nice to only have to go to a training once every two years rather than your certifications expiring at different times. Why not take care of your PALS HeartCode online and get your BLS certification at the same time? This course will have you walking out the door with two certifications. PALS is completed online, and BLS is taken care of completely in person
PALS HeartCode, ACLS Heartcode, and BLS Package: If you thought two certifications at one time was good, wait until you can get all three certifications knocked out at once. Woo wee! This is our golden package which includes PALS Heartcode competed online, ACLS HeartCode completed online, and BLS completed in person. You'll need a dolly to carry all of these items out the door
