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. A study by Maryam Y Naim et all<ref name="pmid27837587">{{cite journal| author=Naim MY, Burke RV, McNally BF, Song L, Griffis HM, Berg RA | display-authors=etal| title=Association of Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation With Overall and Neurologically Favorable Survival After Pediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in the United States: A Report From the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival Surveillance Registry. | journal=JAMA Pediatr | year= 2017 | volume= 171 | issue= 2 | pages= 133-141 | pmid=27837587 | doi=10.1001/jamapediatrics.2016.3643 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=27837587  }}</ref> found out communities, where bystander CPR is practiced, have better survival outcomes in children less than 18 years from out of hospital cardiac arrest(CA)
* 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.
