HeartCode Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Part 1 CD

(Online Coming Mid-2012)

Course Description

Interactive CD-based course lets students virtually treat pediatric patients!

HeartCode PALS Part 1 is a self-directed, interactive, CD-based product intended for healthcare professionals who require a PALS Provider course completion card, as well as nurses and emergency medical services personnel seeking continuing education credit.

Using eSimulation technology, the program presents 12 realistic, hospital-based, pediatric patient cases that teach healthcare providers to evaluate and manage seriously ill infants and children. Students interact with the program to assess each patient, formulate a treatment plan - based on the PALS algorithm and American Heart Association's Guidelines for CPR and ECC - and provide treatment in a virtual setting.

Students have access to the course for one year from initial license activation, allowing them to refresh their skills. This CD-based eLearning program provides the cognitive portion (Part 1) of the PALS course. Upon completion of Part 1, students must pass skills practice (Part 2) and testing (Part 3) with a certified American Heart Association instructor to qualify for a PALS provider course card.

This course is based on the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and ECC. Upon completion of the online course (part 1), students will need to attend a skill check session offered by Love Health Service (Part 2 &3).

Testing and Certification

Students must pass a written exam and skill test in order to qualify for a PALS Course Completion Card. A passing score of 84% or higher is required.  The test is offered within the CD. A student must then have their skills assessed by a LHS instructor.

This program can only be run on the computer on which it was originally installed, and is not compatible with Mac computers. NOTE: You must purchase one CD for each student trained.
