    Pediatric Advanced Life Support Quick Study Guide 2015 Updated Guidelines - Rogue Medical Training Academy

    The information in this book is meant to supplement, not replace, proper emergency medical training. Like any emergency response involving speed, equipment, skills and environmental factors, operating as an emergency responder poses some inherent risk. The authors and publisher advise readers to take full responsibility for their safety and know their limits. Before practicing the skills described in this book, be sure that your equipment is well maintained, and do not take risks beyond your level of certification, experience, aptitude, training, and comfort.

    PALS is ineffective without good BLS skills.

    Follow standard BLS CPR guidelines for all victims found without a pulse, who are not breathing and are unresponsive.

    Follow proper algorithms for medication administration and invasive procedures when indicated.

    Use of a Color-Coded Length-Based Resuscitation Tape to ensure proper interventions and treatments.

    2015 Guidelines

    High Quality CPR:

    * Compressions rate of 100-120 per minute for all ages

    * Compression depth at least or approximately 1 ½ inches or (4cm) for infants and approximately 2 inches (5cm) in children (puberty and up use adult guidelines)

    * Hand placement for pediatrics is one third the AP diameter of the chest or on the lower half of the breastbone

    * Allow full recoil of the chest for proper circulation during compressions

    * Minimize all interruptions in chest compressions

    * Chest compressions should never be interrupted for more than 10 seconds

    * Avoid excessive ventilations

    Switch compressor about every 2 minutes or earlier if fatigued

    Follow CABD algorithm To Assess All Victims (Used to be ABC)
