Overview
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 [1] 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.[2]

Classification
- Pediatric Basic Life Support is classified according to age[1]
- Age - Less than 1 year - Infant Basic Life Support
- Age - 1 year to Puberty - Child Basic Life Support
- Age - After Puberty - Adult Basic Life Support
- BLS can be classified as
- BLS in Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)
- BLS in patient cardiac arrest (IHCA)
