Course Overview

About PALS

The PALS Provider Course aims to improve outcomes for pediatric patients by preparing healthcare providers to effectively recognize and intervene in patients with respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest by using high‐performance team dynamics and high‐quality individual skills. The course includes a series of case scenario practices with simulations that reinforce important concepts. Upon successful completion of all the patient cases, students must pass the multiple-choice exam with a minimum score of 84%.

What you will practice

After successfully completing this course, students will be able to:

  • Perform high‐quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) per American Heart Association (AHA) basic life support (BLS) recommendations
  • Differentiate between patients who do and do not require immediate intervention
  • Recognize cardiopulmonary arrest early and begin CPR within 10 seconds
  • Apply team dynamics
  • Differentiate between respiratory distress and failure
  • Perform early interventions for respiratory distress and failure
  • Differentiate between compensated and decompensated (hypotensive) shock
  • Perform early interventions for the treatment of shock
  • Differentiate between unstable and stable patients with arrhythmias
  • Describe clinical characteristics of instability in patients with arrhythmias
  • Implement post–cardiac arrest management

What students say

  • I would 100% recommend getting or renewing your BLS certification at CPR Masters! Mrs. Reyes is a fantastic instructor and did an excellent job teaching the BLS skills. In the beginning, I was worried that I wouldn't succeed, but Mrs. Reyes was very patient, encouraging, and made sure I understood what I was doing. She created a comfortable learning environment and gave great feedback throughout the course. 10/10!

Questions

Before you book

Which course do I need?

Healthcare providers usually need BLS, and clinicians managing cardiac emergencies take ACLS or PALS. Workplaces, caregivers and community responders take a Heartsaver course. School staff take Heartsaver K–12, and anyone caring for infants and children takes Heartsaver Pediatric. If you are unsure, call (956) 379-6196 — and always confirm the exact requirement with your employer or school.

Does this course meet my employer's or licensing board's requirement?

Requirements vary by employer, licensing board, school, and profession. CPR Masters RGV offers American Heart Association courses, but you should confirm the exact certification required by your employer or regulatory agency before registering. If you are unsure which course you need, call us at (956) 379-6196 and we can help you identify the appropriate course; final acceptance is determined by your employer or licensing authority.

What does the completion card cover and how long is it valid?

Course completion cards are issued for the specific course successfully completed, such as BLS, ACLS, PALS, or Heartsaver CPR AED/First Aid. American Heart Association course completion cards are generally valid for two years from the date of issue. Your card identifies the specific course completed and its expiration date.
