1. Introduction & Epidemiology

Pediatric cardiac arrest carries a serious but improving prognosis. Data from the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (2005-2007) showed age-dependent survival to hospital discharge rates:
Age GroupSurvival to Discharge
Infants (< 1 year)3.3%
Children (1-11 years)9.1%
Adolescents (12-19 years)8.9%
More recent data showed 8.3% survival across all age groups for out-of-hospital arrest. In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) outcomes have improved dramatically - survival rates rose from 24% to 39% between 2001 and 2009. Notably, prolonged CPR is not always futile: 12% of patients receiving CPR for >35 minutes survived to discharge, and 60% of those had a favorable neurologic outcome.
Key distinguishing feature from adults: Asphyxiation (respiratory failure) is the leading cause of pediatric cardiac arrest - NOT primary cardiac events. This has major implications for resuscitation priorities.

2. Recognition of Pediatric Deterioration

Early recognition prevents progression to full cardiac arrest. Assess using the Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT):
  • Appearance - tone, interaction, consolability, look/gaze, speech/cry
  • Work of Breathing - abnormal sounds (stridor, wheeze, grunting), abnormal positioning, retractions, flaring
  • Circulation to Skin - pallor, mottling, cyanosis
Warning signs requiring immediate action:
  • Tachypnea, grunting, nasal flaring, intercostal/subcostal retractions
  • Stridor or wheeze
  • Head bobbing in infants
  • Altered level of consciousness
  • Bradycardia (ominous pre-arrest sign in children)

3. Pediatric Basic Life Support (PBLS)

3.1 C-A-B Sequence

The 2020 AHA Guidelines maintain the C-A-B (Compressions - Airway - Breathing) sequence. Although asphyxia is the dominant arrest etiology in children (historically favouring A-B-C), the universal C-A-B approach was retained to:
  • Reduce complexity and improve training retention
  • Decrease time to initiation of chest compressions
  • Reduce "no blood flow" time
For a single rescuer finding a child unresponsive: begin CPR immediately; use a speakerphone to activate emergency services simultaneously.
For a sudden witnessed collapse (likely cardiac etiology): obtain an AED quickly before beginning CPR.

3.2 High-Quality CPR: 5 Components

The AHA 2020 guidelines emphasize these five components for pediatric BLS:
  1. Adequate compression rate - 100-120/min (same as adults)
  2. Adequate compression depth - at least 1/3 the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
  3. Full chest recoil between compressions - avoid leaning
  4. Minimize interruptions - pre-shock and post-shock pauses < 10 seconds
  5. Avoid excessive ventilation - over-ventilation increases intrathoracic pressure and reduces cardiac output
Feedback devices are recommended to help rescuers optimize rate and depth in real time. ETCO2 monitoring can assess CPR quality; invasive blood pressure monitoring (if in place) can guide CPR quality targets.

3.3 Chest Compression Technique by Age

AgeHand PlacementDepth
Infants (< 1 year)2 fingers just below inframammary line on sternum~1.5 inches (4 cm)
Children (1 year to puberty)1 or 2 hands on lower half of sternum (avoid xiphoid)~2 inches (5 cm)
Adolescents (post-puberty, average adult size)Standard adult techniqueAt least 5 cm, max 6 cm
Compression-to-ventilation ratio:
  • 1 rescuer: 30:2
  • 2 or more rescuers: 15:2
  • With advanced airway in place: continuous compressions at 100-120/min, 1 breath every 6-8 seconds (8-10 breaths/min), unsynchronised

3.4 Ventilation in Pediatric Arrest

Given the asphyxial nature of most pediatric arrests, conventional CPR (compressions + rescue breaths) is preferred over compression-only CPR. A large observational study found higher survival to discharge with chest compressions + rescue breaths vs. compression-only or no bystander CPR.
  • However, if rescuers are unable or unwilling to deliver breaths, compression-only CPR is better than no CPR.
Ventilation rate with advanced airway: 1 breath every 2-3 seconds (20-30 breaths/min). Rates exceeding this may compromise hemodynamics.

3.5 Defibrillation

ScenarioPreferred Device
Child < 8 years, trained provider identifies shockable rhythmManual defibrillator
Child < 8 years, no manual defibrillatorAED with pediatric attenuator + pediatric pads
No pediatric equipment availableAdult AED - use without hesitation
Pad placement: Anteroposterior position for pediatric patients.
Energy doses:
  • Initial shock: 2 J/kg
  • Second shock: 4 J/kg
  • Subsequent shocks: 4 J/kg (may increase; do not exceed 10 J/kg or adult maximum)

4. Airway Management

4.1 Airway Assessment

  • Check airway patency: perform head tilt-chin lift or jaw thrust. Avoid overextension in infants (neutral/sniffing position preferred).
  • Assess spontaneous respirations, chest rise symmetry, breath sounds
  • Look for signs of distress: tachypnea, grunting, flaring, retractions, stridor, wheeze, head bobbing

4.2 Airway Adjuncts

Oropharyngeal Airway (OPA):
  • Use in unconscious patients with obstruction
  • Sizing: corner of mouth to mandibular angle
Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA):
  • Use in conscious or unconscious patients with intact gag reflex
  • Sizing: tip of nose to tragus of ear
  • Cricoid pressure (Sellick maneuver) may reduce gastric inflation and aspiration risk (avoid excess pressure which can obstruct the trachea)

4.3 Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) Ventilation

  • May be used indefinitely if ventilating effectively - do not rush to intubate
  • Bring the face into the mask, do not push the mask down onto the face (pushes tongue back, obstructs airway)
  • Use E-C clamp technique

4.4 Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA)

  • Supraglottic airway placed blindly - useful for emergent access to a difficult airway
  • Size estimated using combined width of patient's index, middle, and ring fingers, or manufacturer weight-based chart
  • Chest compressions can continue once LMA is in place

4.5 Endotracheal Intubation

Always have a secondary plan if first intubation attempt fails.
Preoxygenation: 100% oxygen via non-rebreather mask for at least 3 minutes. Children have higher oxygen consumption than adults and desaturate rapidly.
ETT size formulas (age 2-10 years):
  • Cuffed ETT (mm ID) = (age in years / 4) + 3.5
  • Uncuffed ETT (mm ID) = (age in years / 4) + 4.0
  • Depth of insertion (cm) = ETT size × 3
When available, use a Broselow tape for length-based estimation of ETT size and laryngoscope blade size.
Laryngoscope blade selection:
Blade TypeAge / Use
Miller #00-1 (straight)Premature - 2 months
Miller #1 (straight)3 months - 3 years
Miller #2 (straight)> 3 years / difficult airway
Macintosh (curved)Usually more effective > 2 years
Cuff inflation pressure: Keep < 20-25 cm H2O.
Confirmation: Quantitative ETCO2 is the primary recommended method to confirm correct ventilation. Also auscultate for bilateral breath sounds.

5. Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

5.1 Vascular Access: IV vs. IO

Vascular access is often challenging in critically ill children. Intraosseous (IO) access is the recommended alternative because:
  • Circulating drug levels are equivalent between IV and IO routes
  • Can be established rapidly when IV access fails
All resuscitation medications and blood products can be injected via IO. Fluids must be pressurized to overcome resistance in IO delivery.

5.2 Shockable Rhythms (VF / pVT)

Algorithm (2020 AHA):
  1. Start CPR - give oxygen, attach monitor/defibrillator
  2. Confirm shockable rhythm (VF / pVT)
  3. Shock at 2 J/kg → resume CPR immediately for 2 minutes
  4. Check rhythm → if still shockable: Shock at 4 J/kg
  5. Resume CPR → give Epinephrine 0.01 mg/kg IV/IO every 3-5 min
  6. Check rhythm → if still shockable: Shock at 4 J/kg (or higher, not exceeding 10 J/kg)
  7. Resume CPR → consider Amiodarone 5 mg/kg IV/IO or Lidocaine 1 mg/kg IV/IO
  8. Treat reversible causes (H's and T's)
Airway management should not cause prolonged interruption of compressions.

5.3 Non-Shockable Rhythms (PEA / Asystole)

  1. CPR - give oxygen, attach monitor
  2. Confirm non-shockable rhythm
  3. Resume CPR for 2 minutes
  4. Epinephrine 0.01 mg/kg IV/IO (0.1 mg/mL, max 1 mg) every 3-5 min
  5. Continue CPR, search for and treat reversible causes
The H's and T's (Reversible Causes):
H'sT's
HypovolemiaTension pneumothorax
HypoxiaTamponade (cardiac)
Hydrogen ion (acidosis)Toxins
Hypo/HyperkalemiaThrombosis (pulmonary)
HypothermiaThrombosis (coronary)

5.4 Bradycardia Algorithm

Bradycardia with poor perfusion in children is a pre-arrest warning sign requiring immediate action.
AHA 2020 Pediatric Bradycardia with a Pulse Algorithm
AHA 2020 Pediatric Bradycardia with a Pulse and Poor Perfusion Algorithm - Miller's Anesthesia, 10e
Steps:
  1. Identify and support ABC, give oxygen, attach monitor
  2. If HR < 60/min with poor perfusion despite oxygenation → start CPR
  3. IV/IO access → Epinephrine 0.01 mg/kg every 3-5 min
  4. Atropine 0.02 mg/kg IV/IO for vagal tone or AV block (min 0.1 mg, max 0.5 mg per dose)
  5. Consider cardiac pacing if not responding to medications
  6. Treat reversible causes

5.5 Tachycardia Algorithm

Distinguish narrow complex (SVT) from wide complex (VT) tachycardia:
  • Narrow complex SVT: if hemodynamically stable → Vagal maneuvers → Adenosine. If unstable → synchronized cardioversion at 0.5-1 J/kg (increase to 2 J/kg if needed).
  • Wide complex VT (with pulse): Amiodarone or Lidocaine; synchronized cardioversion if unstable.

6. Resuscitation Medications

(From the Harriet Lane Handbook, 23e - Johns Hopkins Hospital)
DrugIndicationDoseKey Notes
EpinephrineAsystole, PEA, VF, pVT, bradycardia, diastolic hypotension0.01 mg/kg IV/IO (0.1 mg/mL, max 1 mg); 0.1 mg/kg ET (1 mg/mL, max 2.5 mg); repeat every 3-5 min; infusion: 0.05-2 mcg/kg/minAlpha-agonism increases aortic diastolic pressure and coronary perfusion pressure
AdenosineSVT (AV node reentry or accessory pathway)1st: 0.1 mg/kg IV (max 6 mg); 2nd: 0.2 mg/kg IV (max 12 mg); 3rd: 0.3 mg/kg IV (max 12 mg) - wait 2 min between doses; rapid push with 3-way stopcockBlocks AV node conduction; causes brief asystole (10-15 sec)
AmiodaroneShock-refractory VF/pVT, refractory SVT5 mg/kg IV/IO (max 300 mg); no pulse: push undiluted; pulse: dilute, run over 20-60 min; repeat up to 15 mg/kg totalPotassium-channel blockade; prolongs QT/QRS; risk of polymorphic VT, hypotension
LidocaineShock-refractory VF/pVT (2nd line after amiodarone)1 mg/kg IV/IO bolus; infusion: 20-50 mcg/kg/minSodium-channel blockade; alternative to amiodarone
AtropineBradycardia from vagal tone, cholinergic toxicity, 2nd/3rd degree AV block0.02 mg/kg IV/IO/IM (min 0.1 mg, max 0.5 mg); repeat once after 5 min; max total 1 mg (child)Minimum dose 0.1 mg - paradoxical bradycardia can occur with lower doses
Calcium chlorideHypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, hypermagnesemia, Ca-channel blocker OD20 mg/kg IV/IO (max 1 g) over 5 min; use calcium gluconate peripherallyRisk of myocardial necrosis and severe tissue injury with peripheral infiltration
DextroseDocumented hypoglycemiaNewborns: 5-10 mL/kg D10W; Infants/children: 2-4 mL/kg D25W; Adolescents: 1-2 mL/kg D50W (0.5-1 g/kg)Hyperglycemia associated with poor neurologic outcomes - treat hypoglycemia only
ET = endotracheal route; IO = intraosseous; IV = intravenous

7. Foreign Body Airway Obstruction (FBAO)

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is most common in children < 4 years, with peak incidence between 1-2 years of age.
  • Liquids are the most common cause of choking in infants
  • Small objects (balloons, food) are the most common cause in older children
Management:
SituationAction
Child is coughing or making soundsMonitor closely; do NOT intervene
Choking with ineffective coughAbdominal thrusts (Heimlich) or back blows until relieved
Infant chokingBack blows + chest thrusts (NOT abdominal thrusts)
Child becomes unresponsiveBegin CPR with 30 compressions; look in mouth before each breath attempt; remove visible foreign body
Foreign body visible above vocal cords on laryngoscopyExtract with Magill forceps
Foreign body below vocal cordsAttempt to push distally to restore airway; use ECMO if needed
Drowning: Do NOT perform Heimlich in drowned patients - it delays intubation and increases aspiration risk.

8. Special Circumstances

8.1 Drowning

  • Respiratory arrest is the primary etiology - provide oxygen and ventilation at earliest opportunity
  • Single rescuer: provide 2 minutes of 30:2 CPR before calling for help
  • Two or more rescuers: summon help immediately
  • Prefer cuffed ETTs (reduced lung compliance from submersion-induced injury)
  • Outcomes are often better than other respiratory arrest etiologies
  • Aggressive resuscitation should continue until ROSC or arrival at ED (ECMO may be considered)

8.2 Septic Shock

Recognition: fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, altered mental status, signs of poor perfusion (prolonged capillary refill, decreased urine output, cool extremities).
Key Management:
  • Early recognition and timely fluid resuscitation
  • 20 mL/kg isotonic fluid boluses, reassess after each bolus
  • Early vasopressor therapy for refractory shock (norepinephrine or epinephrine preferred)
  • Blood cultures before antibiotics; administer antibiotics within 1 hour of recognition
  • Corticosteroids for catecholamine-refractory septic shock

9. Post-Resuscitation Care

Following Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), the goal is to optimize perfusion and prevent secondary injury.
Immediate priorities:
  1. Chest X-ray - verify ETT placement
  2. Arterial blood gas - correct acid-base disturbances
  3. Hemoglobin / Hematocrit - assess for transfusion need
Monitoring targets:
  • SpO2: 94-99% (avoid hyperoxia and hypoxia)
  • PaCO2: 35-45 mmHg (normocapnia) or as appropriate for underlying condition
  • Systolic BP: > 5th percentile for age - use IV fluids and/or inotropes/vasoactive drugs; continuous arterial pressure monitoring recommended
Temperature:
  • Continuously monitor core temperature
  • Prevent and treat fever (reduces metabolic demand)
  • For comatose patients after out-of-hospital arrest: either maintenance of normothermia or controlled therapeutic hypothermia may be reasonable
Neurologic monitoring:
  • Continuous EEG is recommended for detection of seizures in patients with persistent encephalopathy
Rehabilitation: All pediatric cardiac arrest survivors should be evaluated for rehabilitation services.

10. Termination of Resuscitation

No single factor reliably predicts outcome with sufficient accuracy to recommend termination of CPR. Post-ROSC factors associated with outcomes include:
  • Presence of hypotension
  • Serum neurologic biomarkers
  • Serum lactate levels
AHA 2020 Guidance: Cessation of resuscitation should not be offered if there is potential for good recovery. Consider the clinical context holistically.

12. Self-Assessment Questions

1. A 3-year-old is found unresponsive and not breathing. There are two rescuers. What compression-to-ventilation ratio should be used before an advanced airway is placed?
Answer: 15:2
2. What is the correct ETT size for a 6-year-old using a cuffed tube?
Answer: (6/4) + 3.5 = 5.0 mm; insertion depth = 5.0 × 3 = 15 cm
3. An infant in VF receives a first shock. What energy dose should be used, and what do you do immediately after?
Answer: 2 J/kg; immediately resume CPR for 2 minutes before checking rhythm.
4. A 5-year-old in cardiac arrest has IO access. Is it appropriate to give epinephrine via this route?
Answer: Yes. IO and IV routes produce equivalent circulating drug levels.
5. What is the minimum dose of atropine in a child, and why does this minimum exist?
Answer: Minimum 0.1 mg. Doses below this threshold can cause paradoxical bradycardia.
6. A child is choking but coughing vigorously and able to make sounds. What should you do?
Answer: Monitor carefully but do not intervene - the child's own cough is the most effective mechanism to clear the obstruction.
7. Following ROSC in an 8-year-old, what oxygen saturation target should be maintained?
Answer: 94-99% (normoxia - avoid both hypoxia and hyperoxia).
8. What is the key difference in CPR approach between pediatric and adult cardiac arrest?
Answer: Most pediatric arrests are asphyxial in etiology, so effective airway management and ventilation are more important. Conventional CPR (compressions + rescue breaths) is preferred over compression-only CPR.
