Overview
Pediatric cardiac arrest codes need to be performed according to AHA current guidelines and this course has been updated to reflect the new science in the 2015 AHA Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC. Health care providers involved in codes need current certifications and demonstrate proficiency in cardiac arrest algorithms.
UK HealthCare developed this systematic, team-based recertification process in conjunction with First Response of the Bluegrass to meet these needs.
Pre-test
Before registering for a live simulation activity, it will be necessary to purchase a PALS textbook AND complete the pre-test. The text can be purchased from First Response.
