PALS Skills Check

PART 2 - HANDS-ON

The AAPD will be offering Part 2 only of the HeartCode PALS course. This is the hands-on testing requirement of the Heart-Code PALS course. Students will demonstrate the skills they have learned in the online class including: on and two person infant and child CPR, rescue breathing, and fluid bolus administration. Students must bring their certificate of completion from the online class to the PALS Skills Check. In this environment, students apply their knowledge to real-time decisions-making and skills development. Debriefings and coaching are provided immediately after each simulation to facilitate learning about pediatric advanced life support.

Part 1 HeartCode PALS Online Class: NOT OFFERED BY AAPD. This is a web-based, self-directed program that teaches health-care providers knowledge and skills needed to recognize and prevent cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children. Students will take the online class from www.onlineaha.org and bring their certificate of completion to the PALS Skills Check held at the conference. The fee for Part 1 (the online class) is the responsibility of the student.
