Working in crisis situations demands your best.
APLS: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Resource is designed to provide health care providers with a core knowledge of pediatric emergency medicine.
More than 15
years ago, AAP and ACEP joined forces to develop the highly regarded
APLS course. APLS is much more than just a course, it is an educational
"tool kit" that has helped thousands of emergency physicians and
pediatricians to improve the quality of care they provide to infants
and children with emergency conditions.
The Revised Fourth Edition
of APLS is truly the body of knowledge in pediatric emergency medicine.
Developed by expert authors, editors, and faculty from both AAP and
ACEP, the new APLS is a unique teaching and learning system for
individual physicians, students, residents, teachers, and APLS
instructors and course directors.
APLS offers
physicians, nurses, paramedics, and other allied health professionals
the information necessary to assess and manage critically ill or
injured children during the first hours in the emergency department.
APLS goes beyond basic resuscitation and it designed to meet the
advanced skills and knowledge of the physician dealing with serious
pediatric diseases and problems in an emergency setting.
The Revised Fourth Edition
includes nine new chapters: Pedaitric Assessment, Central Nervous
System, Metabolic Disease, Nontraumatic Surgical Emergencies,
Nontraumatic Orthopaedic Emergencies, Disaster Management, Preparedness
for Acts of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Terrorism, Children with
Special Health Care Needs, and Medical-Legal Considerations.
