Introduction- Pediatric BLS

Pediatric Basic Life Support is a life-saving skill comprising of high quality CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and Rescue Breadths with Artificial External Defibrillator (AED).

  • Bystander CPR - Bystander resuscitation plays a key role in out of hospital CPR.
  • Two studies (Total children 781) concluded that about half of the Cardio-Respiratory arrests in children under 12 months occur outside the hospital.
  • Good Prognostic Factor upon arrival at the emergency department-
    • The short interval between arrest and arrival at the hospital.
    • Less than 20 minutes of resuscitation in the emergency department.
    • Less than 2 doses of epinephrine.
