Q

What must you do onscene prior to transporting a ped arrest?

A

CPR, BVM, electrical & pharmacologic Rx

18
Q

How does ped rosc differ from adult/?

A
  • Epi instead of norepi pressor

- norepi = OLMC

19
Q

When do you do APGAR on a neonate?

A

1min and 10min

20
Q

When do you give epi to a neonate during ressucitation?

A

If HR stays <60 despite CPR

21
Q

When do you follow bradycardia Rx vs CPR when a ped HR is <60

A

Peds <1yr = CPR

Peds 1+ = brady algorithym

22
Q

Ped bradycardia Rx

A

MOVAB

  • Reversible causes (hypoxia, OD, hypoglycemia)
  • then, epi IO/IV repeat every 3-5min PRN
  • atropine if AV block, vagal tone, cholinergic
  • pace = 3rd degree
  • NS repeat x1 PRN
23
Q

When would you pace a ped

A

Brady due to 3rd degree block

24
Q

When do you give atropine to a bradycardic ped

A

If Due to AV block , vagal tone, cholinergic drug

25
Q

Rx for a tachycardic ped (SVT)

A

MOVAB

- determine if stable or unstable and follow algorithym

26
Q

Rx for stable SVT (narrow or wide)

A
  • NS
  • vagal
  • adenosine x2
  • amio drip over 20min
27
Q

What rate is SVT for infants or peds

A

Infant = or > 220

Ped = or >180

28
Q

What Rx of unstable SVT

A
  • Synchronized cardiovert PRN
  • consider versed
  • find underlying cause
29
Q

Whats the epi drip dose for anaphylaxis in peds?

A

1-4mcg/min

30
Q

How many times can you narcan a ped?

A

2 times

31
Q

When can you tube a kid?

A

After all immediate reversible causes treated and BVM ineffective

32
Q

What are the hypoglycemia values for peds?

A

Neonate <45

All peds <60

33
Q

How often can you repeat med doses for hypoglycemic kids?

A

Can repeat x1 after 5-10 min

34
Q

Pediatric drowning Rx

A

ABC & MOVAB

  • CPAP for rales
  • albuterol for wheeze
35
Q

Can hot packs directly touch the skin?

A

No

36
Q

How often can you give zofran to kids

A

Can repeat dose x1

37
Q

Max single dose IV vs IN fentanyl in kids. Max total dose?

A

IV = 50mcg single dose. Max total 3mcg/kg

IN = 100mcg, repeat every 5min until max 3mcg/kg

38
Q

Seizure Rx in peds

A
  • Versed IN, repeat x1

- IN doesn’t work = IV (repeat x1)

39
Q

Lowest age for a sager splint

A

> 4 Yrs

40
Q

What are high risk conditions for sepsis

A

Catheters, immunosuppression/compromise
