For best survival and quality of life, pediatric basic life support (BLS) should be part a community effort that includes prevention, early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), prompt access to the emergency response system, rapid advanced (PALS), followed by integrated post–cardiac arrest care. These 5 links form American Heart Association (AHA) Chain Survival (Figure 1), first 3 which constitute BLS. FIGURE 1. Pediatric Survival. Rapid effective bystander CPR can associated with...
Throughout this article, the reader will notice combinations of superscripted letters and numbers (eg, "Family Presence During Resuscitation Peds-003 ").These callouts are hyperlinked to evidence-based worksheets, which were used in development article.An appendix applicable is located at end text.The worksheets available PDF format open access.T he 2010 ILCOR Pediatric Task Force experts developed 55 questions related pediatric resuscitation.Topics selected based on 2005 Consensus Science...
Few data exist on pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality. This study is the first to evaluate actual in-hospital CPR. We hypothesized that with bedside CPR training and corrective feedback, quality can approach American Heart Association (AHA) targets.Using recording/feedback defibrillators, of was assessed for patients >or=8 years age who suffered a cardiac arrest in PICU or emergency department (ED). Before during study, program initiated.Between October 2006 February 2008,...
<h3>Importance</h3>Resuscitation training programs use simulation and debriefing as an educational modality with limited standardization of format content. Our study attempted to address this issue by using a script standardize debriefings.<h3>Objective</h3>To determine whether scripted novice instructors and/or simulator physical realism affects knowledge performance in simulated cardiopulmonary arrests.<h3>Design</h3>Prospective, randomized, factorial design.<h3>Setting</h3>The was...
Objectives: To assess the effect of high-fidelity simulation (SIM) on cognitive performance after a training session involving several mock resuscitations designed to teach and reinforce Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) algorithms. Methods: residents were randomized or standard mannequin (MAN) groups. Each subject completed 3 study phases: (1) code exercises (asystole, tachydysrhythmia, respiratory arrest, shock) baseline (PRE phase), (2) didactic reviewing PALS algorithms, (3)...
Tracheal intubation-associated events (TIAEs) are common (20%) and life threatening (4%) in pediatric intensive care units. Physician trainees required to learn tracheal intubation during unit rotations. The authors hypothesized that "just-in-time" simulation-based refresher training would improve resident participation, success, decrease TIAEs.For 14 months, one of two on-call residents, nurses, respiratory therapists received 20-min multidisciplinary 10-min skill at the beginning their...
Background Simulation has become a staple in the training of healthcare professionals with accumulating evidence on its effectiveness. However, guidelines for optimal methods simulation do not currently exist. Methods Systematic reviews literature 16 identified key questions were conducted and expert panel consensus recommendations determined using Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development, Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. Objective These evidence-based from Society Healthcare intend to...
OBJECTIVE. Cardiac arrest is uncommon among pediatric patients. Prehospital data demonstrate differences in care processes between children and adults receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation advanced life support. We sought to evaluate whether in-hospital would attain superior 24-hour survival hospitals with a higher level of physician staffing, greater intensity services, patient volume. METHODS. A retrospective cohort 778 hospital inpatients aged &lt;18 years was identified from the...
