Update
Q: steps.
Answer:
If you have not already done so, activate EMS, the rapid response team or the
resuscitation team, as appropriate, and call for an AED.
Q: Deliver ventilations; each ventilation should last about 1 second and make the
chest begin to
Answer:
rise.
Q: Child pulse >60 BPM not breathing with central pulse (respiratory failure)
Answer:
If their central
pulse is > 60 bpm, deliver 1 ventilation every 2 to 3 seconds. If an advanced airway
is in place,
the rate remains the same. If at any time central pulse decreases to ≤ 60 bpm with
poor
perfusion despite adequate ventilations and oxygen, start CPR.

Q: Child pulse ≤60 BPM not breathing with central pulse (respiratory failure)
Answer:
If their central
pulse is ≤ 60 bpm with signs of poor perfusion, start CPR. If at any time central pulse
and
perfusion improve, stop CPR and deliver 1 ventilation every 2 to 3 seconds until the
patient is
ventilating sufficiently.
Q: Child not breathing with central pulse (respiratory failure)
Answer:
Perform a primary assessment
(Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure).
Continue to check breathing and pulse every 2 minutes.If at any time central pulse
becomes
absent, start CPR immediately and use an AED when it is available.
Position patient as appropriate for clinical condition.
Perform secondary assessment as patient condition allows.
Reassess the patient, recognize issues and provide care as needed.

Q: Pediatric Out-of-Hospital
Answer:
Cardiac Chain of Survival 1. Prevention
Community prevention is key. As the most common causes of cardiac arrest in
children and
infants include respiratory emergencies, shock and preventable injury (e.g., trauma,
drowning,
choking or electrocution), efforts to reduce these events and manage them are key. In
addition,
establishing systems to respond, such as CPR education, public awareness of what to
do in an
emergency and telecommunicator CPR is important.
Q: 2. Recognition of Cardiac Emergency and Activation of Emergency Response
System
Answer:
Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of EMS quickly gives the
patient access
to necessary personnel, equipment and interventions as soon as possible after arrest.

Q: 3. Early High-Quality CPR
Answer:
High-quality CPR should be initiated immediately after recognizing cardiac arrest.
Q: 4. Pediatric Advanced Life Support
Answer:
Effective, pediatric advanced life support gives the patient access to care delivered
by specially
trained professionals.
Q: 5. Integrated Post-Cardiac Arrest Care
Answer:
After return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival outcomes are improved
when
providers work to stabilize the patient, minimize complications, and diagnose and
treat the
underlying cause.
