At the end of this session, learners should be able to:
- Demonstrate appropriate Zoll defibrillator pad application and use during emergency events per PALS algorithms, including defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion.
- Utilize resources such as a crash cart, Broselow tape, push-pull supplies for fluid resuscitation, and bag-valve-mask devices (infant, pediatric, adult) for ventilation in an emergency event.
- Perform appropriate dosing and preparation of PALS medications, including epinephrine, adenosine, and amiodarone, in an emergency event (as applicable to role).
- Implement PALS algorithms for at least three abnormal cardiac rhythms.
- Evaluate resuscitative efforts during a cardiac arrest through continuous assessment of CPR quality and delivering real-time feedback to the team.
