The EPALS course aims to provide caregivers with the knowledge and skills for the management of the critically ill child during the first hour of illness, including the prevention and, if needed, treatment of paediatric cardiac arrest. Participants are generally team members or team leaders of advanced paediatric resuscitation teams. Emphasis is therefore also given to team management and non-technical skills.
Be aware of the scope of this course. If you only ever take responsibility for children during the first minutes of critical illness. awaiting a paediatric resuscitation team to arrive, the EPILS course may suit you better.
The content of this course is based upon the ERC 2021 guidelines, the content of the previous manual, existing evidence from literature, existing guidelines and expert consensus.

You can click on them or scan these codes with for instance your mobile phone.
