Abstract

Pediatric advanced life support (PALS) usually takes place in the setting of an organized response in an advanced healthcare environment. The resuscitation teams will have to consider the invasive patient monitoring that will help to provide additional information during the performance of basic life support (BLS). BLS is presented as a series of sequential events with the assumption that there is only one responder, but PALS usually takes place in an environment where many rescuers are rapidly mobilized and actions are performed simultaneously. The bag-mask ventilation can be as effective, and may be safer, than endotracheal tube ventilation for short periods during out-of-hospital resuscitation. The chapter discusses about various PALS, its uses, precautions to be taken, and various techniques used for monitoring.
