Positive Medical Transport is an American Heart Association Training Site.
We currently offer the following classes:

Heartsaver CPR The American Heart Association recognizes the first person available to help during a sudden cardiac arrest is usually a family member or bystanders. This class makes sure they are educated and prepared to provide help to the victim until professional rescuers arrive, thus greatly increasing their chances of survival.

Pediatric Advanced Life Support The American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support course is based on science evidence from the 2005 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC. The goal of the PALS course is to aid the pediatric healthcare provider in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children, resulting in improved outcomes. Skills taught include recognition and treatment of infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest; the systematic approach to pediatric assessment; effective respiratory management; defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion; intraosseous access and fluid bolus administration; and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
