2. AW
13 y.o. female playing soccer. Comes to the sidelines
and complains of not feeling well then suddenly
collapses. Bystander CPR is initiated. EMS
arrives on scene, intubates and transfers the patient...
4. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Numbers are bleak
27% of in-hospital cardiac arrests survive
Survival to discharge only 6%
Larger percentage of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests do not
survive
Some of the survivors are left seriously incapacitated
16. Pediatric Resuscitation
Higher fluid requirement
Newborn 70 - 80% water (adult 50 - 60%)
Prone to dehydration (diarrhea, emesis, blood loss)
Greater surface area to weight ratio
25% more total circulating blood volume per body weight
17. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Compensated Shock
Tachycardia
Cool and pale distal extremities
Delayed cap refill (>2 sec)
Weak peripheral pulses
Blood pressure....?
Normal
18. Pediatric Resuscitation
Greater capacity to increase heart rate
Heart rate >160 bpm tachycardic
Vessels “clamp down”
Peripheral pulses will become thready and disappear before
central pulses
Skin color and cap refill important
23. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Look at the patient not the number...
Tachycardia - fever, pain, anxiety
Bounding pulses in anaphylactic, septic and neurogenic
shock
34. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Croup
Most common upper airway problem
Due to:
Flu virus, RSV, Parainfluenza virus, Adenovirus
Late fall/early winter
35. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Usually affects infants and toddlers
Cold symptoms 2 - 3 days
Nasal congestion, hoarseness
Tachypnea, low grade fever
Worse at night
Inflammation, edema of upper airways
58% stridor
94% barking or seal-like cough
36. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Usually affects infants and toddlers
Cold symptoms 2 - 3 days
Nasal congestion, hoarseness
Tachypnea, low grade fever
Worse at night
Inflammation, edema of upper airways
58% stridor
94% barking or seal-like cough
37. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Asthma
Most common chronic disease of childhood
Admission rate for age <5 is higher than for all other age
groups
Mortality rising
1/2 of all deaths in pre-hospital setting
Length of final attack < 2hr in 50% of deaths
38. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Triggers lead to bronchial spasming,
mucosal edema, increased secretions
URI’s, exercise, cold air exposure, emotional
stress, passive exposure to smoke, allergens
40. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Factors of Severe Attack
Prior ICU admission or intubation
>3 ED visits in a year
>2 Hospital admissions in a year
Use of >1 MDI canister in last month
Use of rescue inhaler >Q4H
Worsening symptoms despite aggressive home therapy
41. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Signs of Severe Asthma Attack
Altered appearance
Exhaustion
Inability to recline
Interrupted speech
Severe retractions
Decreased air movement
43. Pediatric Resuscitaion
Hypoglycemia
Low glycogen stores in the liver
Alcohol, accidental ingestion of anti-hyperglycemic
agents, overmedication with insulin
Inborn errors of metabolism
