Course Summary: Pediatric Advanced Life Support
(PALS) is required for level 2 permit holders who sedate children, 12 years of
age or under. This program follows the 2010 AHA Guidelines and is designed to
prepare the healthcare provider to manage emergencies in the pediatric
population. The dental office is a unique environment consequently this
program addresses specific issues related to this, especially with the
sedated patient. Contents include, but are not limited to, airway assessment
and management, applied pharmacology, physical assessment, and management of
various cardiac emergencies. This limited enrollment hands-on program allows
the practitioner to become the leader in management of various
emergencies. In order to take the
course, participants must
be current in PALS and have a Level 2 permit.
You will need to complete an online component to meet the Level 2
criteria. The lecture and online
component will provide the necessary Level 2 CE hours. PALS materials will be sent to prepare for
the PALS component. This course is the American Heart Association Pediatric
Advanced Life Support Provider Course which requires a didactic and hands-on
component. Additional in-class didactic information will address issues and
circumstances which could be encountered in the dental office setting,
outside the office (such as the parking lot) and in the practitioners social
environment. A focus will be to help the practitioner avoid emergency situations, consequently, several areas will be elaborated
beyond the AHA online component.
Medical principles will include patient assessment of the pediatric
individual, obtaining necessary consultations, and risk assessment. How the necessary pre-assessment
information requirements ascertained is important in determining patient
selection. The hands-on component will consist of practice and management of
scenarios utilizing a high-fidelity manikin. This will meet or exceed the AHA
requirements for in-class management. Emergency preparation and management is
extremely important in the safe management of a non-sedated and sedated
patient. In-office preparation including required emergency practice
sessions, medications and adjunctive equipment will be discussed. Airway management is extremely important so
management during the procedure will be shown. An airway station to practice emergency
airway management is part of the program with positive pressure apparatus and
advanced airway adjuncts available.
Particular scenarios are dictated by the American Heart
Association. Additionally,
anesthesia-related situations and medical emergencies will be addressed and
practiced utilizing high-fidelity pediatric manikins and airway manikins with
practitioners working in small groups. American Heart Association guidelines
will be followed for course completion.
An e-card will be issued from the American Heart Association upon
successful completion of the AHA online part one program and the in-class
management program. Time will be available for an open discussion of various
cases and scenarios with the faculty and participants. Course Fulfillment: Note: Class size/ instructor
ratio, course parameters and course material is guided by the American Heart
Association. This course is the American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced
Life Support Provider Course which requires a didactic and hands-on
component. The AHA online part one is
utilized for part of the didactic component in conjunction with the classroom
hands-on component must be completed prior to being issued an e-card (the
access code and instructions are provided as part of the course fee). The hands-on component will
consist of practice and management of scenarios utilizing a high-fidelity
manikin. American Heart Association guidelines will be followed for course
completion. An e-card will be issued

online part one program and the in-class management program. Course materials provided as part
