ASHI PALS is intended for emergency personnel in intensive care or critical caredepartments and emergency medical providers responsible for the well-beingof infants and children. The overall goal of the ASHI PALS course is to provide healthcare professionals with didactic and psychomotor skills training in the recognition and treatment of conditions that may lead to a cardiopulmonary arrest in an infant or child. ASHI PALS incorporates both prehospital and hospital management of pediatric emergencies. ASHI PALS program materials are based upon the most recent science, treatment recommendations and guidelines, and are an equivalent and acceptable alternative to resuscitation programs offered by the American Heart Association®, Inc. Additionally, ASHI PALS has been nationally approved by the Continuing Education Coordinating Board for Emergency Medical Services (CECBEMS*). CECBEMS is the national accrediting body for Emergency Medical Services continuing education courses and course providers, and employs a peer-review process for accreditation similar to other healthcare professions
