Pediatric code response can be a high stress situation and having a copilot to support quick decisions helps eliminate moments of uncertainty.

PALS Copilot takes Pediatric Advanced Life Support one step further in allowing for a patient specific weight to be used for automatic calculation of medication doses, shocks, and approximate equipment sizes. With straightforward displays and quick, user-friendly controls, PALS Copilot supports you and your team so you can focus on delivering the best patient care.
