Section 2 — Weight-Based Pharmacology: Independent PALS recertification review topic guide

Section 2 — Weight-Based Pharmacology carries 35% of the Independent PALS recertification review blueprint used in this course, the largest of its 3 weighted areas. It spans 5 concepts. The course teaches it in 1 study unit: The Broselow Drawer: Weight-Based Doses With Their Caps.

These percentages are this course's practice emphasis, not an official question distribution.

What Section 2 — Weight-Based Pharmacology covers

• What is the pediatric epinephrine dose, concentration, and max?
• What are the pediatric antiarrhythmic doses for shock-refractory VF/pVT?
• What is the pediatric atropine dose, min, max, and its narrow indication?
• What is the pediatric adenosine dosing for SVT?
• What are the 2025 pharmacology deltas, and which drugs are named without a shippable dose?
