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.

ADD BLS TO YOUR COURSE!
The Basic Life Support (BLS) course is a prerequisite to be completed within the 12 months prior to a PALS course. SkillStat offers BLS concurrently with every PALS course as an optional add-on to satisfy this requirement. Choose this option below when registering.

PALS GUIDELINES UPDATE
In Oct 2020, the latest updates of the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Guidelines were released. Our ACLS | BLS courses support current practice with the new ACLS and BLS guidelines, including the latest updates with Covid-19.

PREPARATION
Please review the PALS Provider Manual (2015) 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.

After you register, you will also receive an email with links to a number of official release documents freely available online.
