Introduction

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 as survival rates of more than 70 % with good neurological outcome have been reported.[1] Two studies (Total children 781) concluded that about half of the Cardio- Respiratory arrests in children under 12 months occur outside the hospital.[2].

  • 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. [3]
