Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Flashcards
Bradycardia Algorithm
Bradycardia persists after CPR
Epinephrine
Atropine: For increased vagal tone or primary AV block
Consider thransthoracic pacing/transvenous pacing
Treat underlying cause
Bradycardia Algorithm
Epinephrine Dose
Give epinephrine if bradycardia persist despite effective CPR
0.01 mg/kg or 0.01mg/mL
Repeat every 3-5 min
Cardioversion
Indications
Unstable SVT
atrial Flutter
VT with a pulse
Cardioversion
Energy Dose
Start with 0.5-1 J/kJ for cardioversion then increase to 2J/kg
Adenosine Dose
0.1mg/kg (max 6 mg/kg) as a rapid IV bolus
Second dose is 0.2 mg/kg (max 12 mg)
Amiodarone Dose
Loading dose of 5 mg/kg (max 300mg)
Repeat dose of 5 mg/kg to a max 15 mg/kg as needed
Procainamide Dose
IV/IO
15 mg/kg
IBW <1 Year Old
(Age +9) / 2
IBW 1-6 years
(Age x2) + 8
IBW 7-11 Age
([Year x 7] -5) /2
Cardiac Arrest Alorigthm First Steps
1) Inital Impression (ABC)
2) Does the child need immediate intervention and if so call for help
Cardiac Arrest Alorigthm First Steps
Breathing and Pulse Assessment
No Breathing OR No pulse and gasping: Start CPR
No Breathing but pulse is present: Begin Ventilation
Breathing and Has a Pulse: Check for severe compromise in airway, circulation or perfusion and then move on to evaulation
Tube Depth
ETT Size x 3
OR
(Age/2) + 12
ETT Drugs How to administer
Give 5 Manual Ventilations
This is one of the only things we will stop comrpessions for
Cardiac Arrest Alorigthm
What rhythms are shockable
VF
Pulseless VT
