WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Delivered in partnership with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, the PALS Renewal course is intended for healthcare providers working in a hospital or non-hospital setting who wish to increase their skills in the emergency cardiovascular and respiratory care of children and infants. Techniques and skills for resuscitating and stabilizing infants and children in respiratory failure, cardiopulmonary arrest, or shock are introduced. The PALS Renewal course utilizes case-based sessions, simulations, video presentations, didactic discussions and hands on practice to help each student achieve success in the course and in practice.

ELIGIBILITY
The PALS Renewal Course is for those who have taken a PALS course within the past 2 years.

BLS INCLUDED!
The Basic Life Support (BLS) course (previously called BLS-HCP) is required prior to completion of your PALS course and is included with your tuition. We train and certify you in these skills during your PALS course.

2017/2015 PALS GUIDELINES UPDATE
In November 2017 (focused release) and in October 2015, the latest updates of the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Guidelines were released. Our courses offer the latest consensus on these guidelines.

PREPARATION
Please review the PALS Provider Manual (2016) and the PALS student materials available at Heart and Stroke Foundation (you must log in to access PALS and BLS skill videos and a precourse quiz – found in the ‘Resources’ tab). To refresh your ECG knowledge visit our SkillStat ECG Simulator.  Basic ECG interpretation is a prerequisite skill. A number of other useful resources are freely available through SkillStat’s Library.
