Information About our Courses

PALS

The PALS Provider Course aims to improve outcomes for pediatric patients by preparing healthcare providers to effectively recognize and intervene in patients with respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest by using high‐performance team dynamics and high‐quality individual skills. The course includes a series of case scenario practices with simulations that reinforce important concepts. Upon successful completion of all the patient cases, students must pass the multiple-choice exam with a minimum score of 84%.

Topics include:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to

  • Perform high‐quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) per
    American Heart Association (AHA) basic life support (BLS)
    recommendations
  • Differentiate between patients who do and do not require immediate intervention
  • Recognize cardiopulmonary arrest early and begin CPR within 10 seconds
  • Apply team dynamics
  • Differentiate between respiratory distress and failure
  • Perform early interventions for respiratory distress and failure
  • Differentiate between compensated and decompensated
    (hypotensive) shock
  • Perform early interventions for the treatment of shock
  • Differentiate between unstable and stable patients with arrhythmias
  • Describe clinical characteristics of instability in patients with
    arrhythmias
  • Implement post–cardiac arrest management

NRP

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) course conveys an evidence-based approach to care of the newborn at birth and facilitates effective team-based care for healthcare professionals who care for newborns at the time of delivery. NRP utilizes a blended learning approach, which includes online testing, online case-based simulations, and hands-on case-based simulation/debriefing that focus on critical leadership, communication, and team-work skills.

STABLE

This 8-hour course is the most widely distributed program focusing on the post-resuscitative / pre-transport management of the newborn. Designed to stress the team concept of neonatal care, participants from physicians to nurses, EMS to techs will benefit from the interactive format used to demonstrate assessing and managing the newborn in preparing for transfer as needed. This valuable and easy-to-remember mnemonic-based resource serves as a concise guideline to organize the myriad of details and interventions necessary for stabilizing a sick infant. The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program involves an eight-hour interactive didactic class. We recommend taking NRP prior to this course.

Pediatric Critical Care Skills

We will be providing 8 hours of hands-on scenario-based training in selected emergency skills for the infant and pediatric population. There will be 8 choices and each participant will pick 4 during registration. We recommend that you have either PALS or NRP training prior to attending. Topics are subject to change based on the number of participants signing up for each station. You will be able to pick from the following:

  • Pediatric ultrasound-guided IV, midline and I/O placement
  • Pediatric trauma
  • Pediatric burn management
  • Pediatric medical ICU scenarios- DKA
  • Pediatric medical ICU scenarios- Sepsis
  • Pediatric airway and ventilator management
  • Maternal CODE and neonatal resuscitation
  • Infant and neonatal procedures (chest tubes, access)

Please see the attached pediatric registration form with pricing. If you have an interest in the procedural courses offered by our partners at Hospital Procedures Consultants, please email bhbrrc@gmail.com for a separate registration.
