European Paediatric Advanced Life Support-EPALS
Course overview
The course is intended to provide training for multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals in the early recognition of the child in respiratory or circulatory failure and the development of the knowledge and core skills required to prevent further deterioration towards respiratory or cardiorespiratory arrest. EPALS is approved by the royal colleges of emergency medicine, paediatrics, anaesthesia and the association of paediatric anaesthetists (RCPCH, RCEM, RCA, APA) for training and revalidation for both consultants and junior grades in advanced paediatric resuscitation skills and management.
Undertaking the EPALS course should enable you to:
- use the structured ABCDE approach for rapid assessment of the seriously ill child;
- manage the sick child until the arrival of expert assistance;
- facilitate the development of resuscitation team members and team leaders;
- use a structured approach to communication amongst team members during an emergency situation
