Section 3 — Practical Application: Independent PALS recertification review topic guide
Section 3 — Practical Application carries 35% of the Independent PALS recertification review blueprint used in this course, the second-largest of its 3 weighted areas. It spans 6 concepts. The course teaches it in 2 study units: Running the Pediatric Code: Arrest & High-Quality CPR and With a Pulse: Unstable Brady, Tachy & Post-Arrest.
These percentages are this course's practice emphasis, not an official question distribution.
What Section 3 — Practical Application covers
- What is the pediatric defibrillation energy ladder in VF/pVT?
- What defines pediatric high-quality CPR?
- What are the pediatric reversible causes, and what does the peds list add?
- What is the synchronized cardioversion energy ladder for an unstable tachyarrhythmia?
- How do you run unstable pediatric bradycardia?
- What are the 2025 pediatric post-arrest blood-pressure targets?
