Paediatric resuscitation – refresh, rethink, relax
On presentation of an unconscious, unresponsive child who isn’t breathing what are your first thoughts? How can you help give the patient a better chance of survival?
CPD Benefit
This special skills edition of Standby CPD aims to refresh your knowledge of the guidelines in dealing with a paediatric cardiac arrest, and to emphasise that paramedics are well equipped to deal with this scenario. The article gives practical guidance, using the ‘Advanced life support in children algorithm’ (Resuscitation Council (UK) Guidelines 2015) as a reference, showing how to prepare en route, manage the scene and assess the patient. This will enable you to utilise time on scene more effectively when considering the overall situation and take action that increases the chances of survival for your patient.
