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 outcomes have been reported. 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.
