PALS - Blended Learning

Course Description

HeartCode PALS is the AHA’s PALS blended learning delivered method. Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, followed by a hands-on skills session. Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) builds on the foundation of Basic Life Support (BLS), emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR. The hands-on instruction and simulated cases in this advanced course are designed to help enhance the recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest. The first portion of HeartCode PALS is online and can be completed in approximately 1 to 2 hours but the timing can vary depending on the student’s level of experience. This must be completed before attending the in-person skills portion. Be sure to print out the online HeatCode certificate of completion and bing it to the next phase. The hands-on skills session takes approximately 2-4 hours. This will be done on your scheduled time and date. This portion teaches the importance of preventing cardiac arrest, high-performance teams, early and continuous high-quality CPR, systems of care, recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, post-cardiac arrest care, acute dysrhythmias. Features: HeartCode PALS uses a personalized adaptive algorithm that sets students on the most efficient path to PALS mastery. Students follow a continuously adapting learning path that is personalized by their own inputs: their performance and their self- reported confidence level related to each probing question. The student has a choice of completing a pre-hospital or in-hospital contextualized track. Course Materials: Access to the PALS Provider Manual eBook is included with HeartCode PALS. You will be able to access the Provider Manual from within the course. Course Completion Card: PALS Provider Course Completion Card, valid for two years
