Conquering Pediatric Resuscitation: Combined APLS/PALS Pediatric Emergency Medicine Course
Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge
A Continuing Medical Education Conference presented by the Division of Emergency Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine
Course Overview
The Stanford University School of Medicine is pleased to offer the first-ever combined Advanced Pediatric Life Support (APLS)/Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course. This two-day pilot course, is offered in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA), and will allow participants to earn course completion in both APLS, as well as PALS (either an initial or renewal provider).
Participants will complete the APLS/PALS curriculum through small group discussion and extensive hands-on simulation training at Stanford University’s immerisive simulation center. Using real life simulation scenarios, the participants will encounter pediatric emergencies including traumas, sepsis, seizures, poisonings, and metabolic and cardiac disorders.
Pre-Course Work Requirements
Course participants will need to complete the following PALS pre-course work requirements:
- Successful completion of the PALS science and resuscitation videos
- Successful completion of the PALS exam
Course participants will be given an online access code to the AHA Learning Management System to complete these tasks. Course participants will need to bring their pre-course work completion certificate to the onsite course to verify completion of these items.
See registration tab for information regarding course materials.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Given the increase in the acuity of pediatric patient care census, it is imperative for emergency and community physicians to have access to a state of the art simulation APLS and PALS combined course. It is now widely recognized that children are not simply small adults and that specialty training to care for this population is expected and required. This course addresses knowledge and skill set gaps through didactic presentations, hands-on procedure training and simulations with the latest equipment in order for health providers to be better prepared to care for pediatric emergencies.
As pediatric simulation courses are not widely available, it is important to couple this powerful methodology with the content and knowledge base of the APLS and PALS courses. This is the first course to combine APLS and PALS certification. It includes cognitive, technical and behavioral skills combining all aspects of patient care in a realistic, time pressured setting.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This national conference is designed to meet the educational needs of Emergency Medicine Physicians, Urgent Care Physicians, Pediatricians and Hospitalists.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Develop strategies to manage pediatric emergencies based on the 2010 AHA Guidelines.
- Utilize technical skills when responding to pediatric emergencies including bag mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation removal, intraosseous access, and lumbar puncture.
- Develop strategies to utilize Crisis Resource Management (CRM) skills during debriefing in the simulated and clinical patient care environment.
