Textbook Description

For the pediatric advanced life support (PALS) provider the best approach to the assessment and treatment of a seriously ill or injured child is a systematic one. In the past, various pediatric life support training programs used different terminologies to teach assessment and treatment approaches. These differences in terminology and approach cause confusion among pediatric providers, complicated instructor training, and interfered with the goal shared by all of these retaining programs: to improve the recognition, treatment, and outcomes of seriously ill and injured children. A concensus has now been reached to standardize definitions, assessment, and treatment approaches used in pediatric resuscitation. The 2010 PALS textbook includes

• Pediatric Assessment
• Recognition and Management of Respiratory Distress and Failure
• Recognition and management of shock
• Recognition and management of bradyarrythymias and tachyarrythmias
• Recognition and management of cardiac arrest
• Postresuscitation management
• Pharmacology
