The AHA’s PALS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.

This classroom, video-based, Instructor-led course uses a series of simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation and team dynamics. The goal of the PALS Course is to improve the quality of care provided to seriously ill or injured children, resulting in improved outcomes.
The PALS Course is for healthcare providers who respond to emergencies in infants and children. This includes personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care and critical care units such as physicians, nurses, paramedics and others who need a PALS course completion card for job or other requirements.

8-year-old boy suffers cardiac arrest after being hit by baseball

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. (KGO) -- An 8-year-old boy in Rohnert Park nearly died on the baseball field; and now, two people in the stands are being hailed as heroes. The young players were back at it Sunday, just a day after the boy went into cardiac arrest after being hit by a pitch.

The family, as you can imagine, is quite traumatized by this event. But we're told the 8-year-old baseball survivor is doing well, in stable condition. He's being held at the hospital for observation in what has turned into a remarkable story.
Young players took to the fields on this sunny Sunday, but everyone was mindful of the fate of an 8-year-old boy playing for the Blue Jays the day before during a Rohnert Park Cal Ripken Baseball League game.

"I was right behind the plate and this kid got hit in the heart with the ball," witness Trenton Starrett said. The 14-year-old said he was there standing right behind home plate as the umpire, ""He went to first, like he tripped once, and he got back up, and then fell again, and then he didn't get back up," Starrett said. "Fortunately we had two off-duty paramedics that were in the stands and watched it happen," Rohnert Park baseball director Aaron Johnson said. "They quickly came to his aid and realized he needed CPR."
The boy had stopped breathing and had no pulse. Emergency crews arriving at the ball field used a defibrillator to get his heart beating again.
The 8-year-old was taken to a hospital in Santa Rosa, but transported to Children's Hospital Oakland by helicopter.
"Could have been my kid, absolutely," parent David Hurwitz said. "Some of these kids throw hard, it's amazing to see how hard they throw. And when my kid's at bat, it could happen to anyone."
The pitches fly at 30 to 50 mph. Rohnert Park mom Jeannie Hurwitz sustained a serious injury to her eye while playing catch with her son in their front yard.
Leslie: "So you know what a baseball can do?"
Jeannie: "Uh, yeah! Here's proof!"
We hear a lot about protecting heads in sports, but not so much about protecting hearts.
Baseball officials in Rohnert Park say that as a result of this incident, they will consider stocking defibrillators at each concession shack at the baseball diamonds there in the future.

THINK YOU ARE HAVING A STROKE? CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY! F.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember the sudden signs of stroke. When you can spot the signs, you'll know that you need to call 9-1-1 for help right away. F.A.S.T. is:

Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven? Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like "The sky is blue." Is the sentence repeated correctly? Time to call 9-1-1 – If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the hospital immediately. Check the time so you'll know when the first symptoms appeared.
