Pediatric ALS is a training program offered by the American Heart Association and other organizations whose goal is to is provide pediatric healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage critically ill infants and children. The program teaches skills such as recognition and treatment of infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest. CPR techniques used for children is similar to that used for adults; but because children’s bones are more flexible, rescuers should take extra care when providing rescue breaths and compressions. Rescuers also need to analyze arrhythmias differently in pediatric patients and should reduce joule settings on monitor/defibrillators to prevent accidental overdose during defibrillation.
