Part 12: Pediatric Advanced Life Support I n contrast to adults, sudden cardiac arrest in children is uncommon, and cardiac arrest does not usually result from a primary cardiac cause.1 More often it is the terminal event of progressive respiratory failure or shock, also called an asphyxial arrest. Respiratory Failure Respiratory failure is characterized by inadequate ventilation or oxygenation. Anticipate respiratory failure and possible respiratory arrest if you see any of the following: ● An increased respiratory rate, particularly with signs of distress (eg, increased effort, nasal flaring, retractions, or grunting) ● An inadequate respiratory rate, effort, or chest excursion (eg, diminished breath sounds, gasping, and cyanosis), especially if mental status is depressed Shock Shock results from inadequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to meet tissue metabolic demands. Shock progresses over a continuum of severity, from a compensated to a decompensated state. Attempts to compensate include tachycardia and increased systemic vascular resistance (vasoconstriction) in an effort to maintain cardiac output and blood pressure. Although decompensation can occur rapidly, it is usually preceded by a period of inadequate end-organ perfusion. Signs of compensated shock include ● Tachycardia ● Cool extremities ● Prolonged capillary refill (despite warm ambient temperature) ● Weak peripheral pulses compared with central pulses ● Normal blood pressure As compensatory mechanisms fail, signs of inadequate end-organ perfusion develop. In addition to the above, these signs include ● Depressed mental status ● Decreased urine output ● Metabolic acidosis ● Tachypnea ● Weak central pulses Signs of decompensated shock include the signs listed above plus hypotension. In the absence of blood pressure measurement, decompensated shock is indicated by the nondetectable distal pulses with weak central pulses in an infant or child with other signs and symptoms consistent with inadequate tissue oxygen delivery. The most common cause of shock is hypovolemia, one form of which is hemorrhagic shock. Distributive and cardiogenic shock are seen less often. Learn to integrate the signs of shock because no single sign confirms the diagnosis. For example: ● Capillary refill time alone is not a good indicator of circulatory volume, but a capillary refill time of 2 seconds is a useful indicator of moderate dehydration when combined with a decreased urine output, absent tears, dry mucous membranes, and a generally ill appearance (Class IIb; LOE 32). It is influenced by ambient temperature,3 lighting,4 site, and age. ● Tachycardia also results from other causes (eg, pain, anxiety, fever). ● Pulses may be bounding in anaphylactic, neurogenic, and septic shock. In compensated shock, blood pressure remains normal; it is low in decompensated shock. Hypotension is a systolic blood pressure less than the 5th percentile of normal for age, namely: ● 60 mm Hg in term neonates (0 to 28 days) ● 70 mm Hg in infants (1 month to 12 months) ● 70 mm Hg (2 age in years) in children 1 to 10 years ● 90 mm Hg in children 10 years of age Airway Oropharyngeal and Nasopharyngeal Airways Oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways are adjuncts for maintaining an open airway. Oropharyngeal airways are used in unconscious victims (ie, with no gag reflex). Select the correct size: an oropharyngeal airway that is too small will not keep the tongue from obstructing the pharynx; one that is too large may obstruct the airway. Nasopharyngeal airways will be better tolerated than oral airways by patients who are not deeply unconscious. Small nasopharyngeal tubes (for infants) may be easily obstructed by secretions. Laryngeal Mask Airway There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against the routine use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) during cardiac arrest (Class Indeterminate). When endotracheal intubation is not possible, the LMA is an acceptable adjunct for experienced providers (Class IIb; LOE 7),5 but it is associated with a higher incidence of complications in young children.6 Breathing: Oxygenation and Assisted Ventilation For information about the role of ventilation during CPR, see Part 11: “Pediatric Basic Life Support.” (Circulation. 2005;112:IV-167-IV-187.) © 2005 American Heart Association.

Oxygen There are no studies comparing various concentrations of oxygen during resuscitation beyond the perinatal period. Use 100% oxygen during resuscitation (Class Indeterminate). Monitor the patient’s oxygen level. When the patient is stable, wean the supplementary oxygen if the oxygen saturation is maintained. Pulse Oximetry If the patient has a perfusing rhythm, monitor oxygen saturation continuously with a pulse oximeter because clinical recognition of hypoxemia is not reliable.7 Pulse oximetry, however, may be unreliable in a patient with poor peripheral perfusion. Bag-Mask Ventilation Bag-mask ventilation can be as effective as ventilation through an endotracheal tube for short periods and may be safer.8 –11 In the prehospital setting ventilate and oxygenate infants and children with a bag-mask device, especially if transport time is short (Class IIa; LOE 18; 310; 49,11). Bagmask ventilation requires training and periodic retraining on how to select a correct mask size, open the airway, make a tight seal between mask and face, ventilate, and assess effectiveness of ventilation (see Part 11: “Pediatric Basic Life Support”). Precautions Victims of cardiac arrest are frequently overventilated during resuscitation.12–14 Excessive ventilation increases intrathoracic pressure and impedes venous return, reducing cardiac output, cerebral blood flow, and coronary perfusion.13 Excessive ventilation also causes air trapping and barotrauma in patients with small-airway obstruction and increases the risk of stomach inflation, regurgitation, and aspiration. Minute ventilation is determined by the tidal volume and ventilation rate. Use only the force and tidal volume needed to make the chest rise visibly. During CPR for the patient with no advanced airway (eg, endotracheal tube, esophagealtracheal combitube [Combitube], LMA) in place, ventilation rate is determined by the compression-ventilation ratio. Pause after 30 compressions (1 rescuer) or after 15 compressions (2 rescuers) to give 2 ventilations with mouth-to-mouth, mouthto-mask, or bag-mask techniques. Give each breath over 1 second. If an advanced airway is in place during CPR (eg, endotracheal tube, Combitube, LMA), ventilate at a rate of 8 to 10 times per minute without pausing chest compressions. In the victim with a perfusing rhythm but absent or inadequate respiratory effort, give 12 to 20 breaths per minute. One way to achieve this rate with a ventilating bag is to use the mnemonic “squeeze-release-release” at a normal speaking rate.8,15 Two-Person Bag-Mask Ventilation A 2-person technique may be more effective than ventilation by a single rescuer if the patient has significant airway obstruction, poor lung compliance, or difficulty in creating a tight mask-to-face seal.16,17 One rescuer uses both hands to maintain an open airway with a jaw thrust and a tight mask-to-face seal while the other compresses the ventilation bag. Both rescuers should observe the victim’s chest to ensure chest rise. Gastric Inflation Gastric inflation may interfere with effective ventilation18 and cause regurgitation. You can minimize gastric inflation by doing the following: ● Avoid excessive peak inspiratory pressures (eg, by ventilating slowly and watching chest rise).8 To avoid use of excessive volume, deliver only the volume needed to produce visible chest rise. ● Apply cricoid pressure. You should do so only in an unresponsive victim. This technique may require an additional (third) rescuer if the cricoid pressure cannot be applied by the rescuer who is securing the bag to the face.19 –21 Avoid excessive pressure so as not to obstruct the trachea.22 ● If you intubate the patient, pass a nasogastric or orogastric tube after you intubate because a gastric tube interferes with the gastroesophageal sphincter, allowing possible regurgitation. Ventilation Through an Endotracheal Tube Endotracheal intubation in infants and children requires special training because the pediatric airway anatomy differs from adult airway anatomy. Success and a low complication rate are related to the length of training, supervised experience in the operating room and in the field,23,24 adequate ongoing experience,25 and the use of rapid sequence intubation (RSI).23,26,27 Rapid Sequence Intubation To facilitate emergency intubation and reduce the incidence of complications, skilled, experienced providers may use sedatives, neuromuscular blocking agents, and other medications to rapidly sedate and paralyze the victim.28 Use RSI only if you are trained and have experience using these medications and are proficient in the evaluation and management of the pediatric airway. If you use RSI you must have a secondary plan to manage the airway in the event that you cannot achieve intubation. Cuffed Versus Uncuffed Tubes In the in-hospital setting a cuffed endotracheal tube is as safe as an uncuffed tube for infants beyond the newborn period and in children.29 –31 In certain circumstances (eg, poor lung compliance, high airway resistance, or a large glottic air leak) a cuffed tube may be preferable provided that attention is paid to endotracheal tube size, position, and cuff inflation pressure (Class IIa; LOE 230; 329,31). Keep cuff inflation pressure 20 cm H2O.32 Endotracheal Tube Size The internal diameter of the appropriate endotracheal tube for a child will roughly equal the size of that child’s little finger, but this estimation may be difficult and unreliable.33,34 Several formulas such as the ones below allow estimation of proper endotracheal tube size (ID, internal diameter) for children 1 to 10 years of age, based on the child’s age: IV-168 Circulation December 13, 2005

Uncuffed endotracheal tube size (mm ID) (age in years/4) 4 In general, during preparation for intubation using the above formula, providers should have the estimated tube size available, as well as uncuffed endotracheal tubes that have internal diameters that are 0.5 mm smaller and 0.5 mm larger than the size estimated ready at the bedside for use. The formula for estimation of a cuffed endotracheal tube size is as follows30: Cuffed endotracheal tube size (mm ID) (age in years/4) 3 Endotracheal tube size, however, is more reliably based on a child’s body length. Length-based resuscitation tapes are helpful for children up to approximately 35 kg.35 Verification of Endotracheal Tube Placement There is a high risk that an endotracheal tube will be misplaced (ie, placed in the esophagus or in the pharynx above the vocal chords), displaced, or become obstructed,8,36 especially when the patient is moved.37 No single confirmation technique, including clinical signs38 or the presence of water vapor in the tube,39 is completely reliable, so providers must use both clinical assessment and confirmatory devices to verify proper tube placement immediately after intubation, during transport, and when the patient is moved (ie, from gurney to bed). Immediately after intubation and again after securing the tube, confirm correct tube position with the following techniques while you provide positive-pressure ventilation with a bag: ● Look for bilateral chest movement and listen for equal breath sounds over both lung fields, especially over the axillae. ● Listen for gastric insufflation sounds over the stomach (they should not be present if the tube is in the trachea).38 ● Use a device to evaluate placement. Check for exhaled CO2 (see below) if there is a perfusing rhythm. If the child has a perfusing rhythm and is 20 kg, you may use an esophageal detector device to check for evidence of esophageal placement (see below). ● Check oxygen saturation with a pulse oximeter. Following hyperoxygenation, the oxyhemoglobin saturation detected by pulse oximetry may not demonstrate a fall indicative of incorrect endotracheal tube position (ie, tube misplacement or displacement) for as long as 3 minutes.40,41 ● If you are still uncertain, perform direct laryngoscopy and look to see if the tube goes between the cords. ● In hospital settings perform a chest x-ray to verify that the tube is not in the right main bronchus and to identify a high tube position at risk of easy displacement. After intubation secure the tube. There is insufficient evidence to recommend any one method (Class Indeterminate). After you secure the tube, maintain the patient’s head in a neutral position; neck flexion pushes the tube farther into the airway, and extension pulls the tube out of the airway.42,43 If an intubated patient’s condition deteriorates, consider the following possibilities (DOPE): ● Displacement of the tube from the trachea ● Obstruction of the tube ● Pneumothorax ● Equipment failure Exhaled or End-Tidal CO2 Monitoring In infants and children with a perfusing rhythm, use a colorimetric detector or capnography to detect exhaled CO2 to confirm endotracheal tube position in the prehospital and in-hospital settings (Class IIa; LOE 544) and during intrahospital and interhospital transport (Class IIb; LOE 545). A color change or the presence of a capnography waveform confirms tube position in the trachea but does not rule out right main bronchus intubation. During cardiac arrest, if exhaled CO2 is not detected, confirm tube position with direct laryngoscopy (Class IIa; LOE 546 – 49; 650) because the absence of CO2 may be a reflection of low pulmonary blood flow. You may also detect a low end-tidal CO2 in the following circumstances: ● If the detector is contaminated with gastric contents or acidic drugs (eg, endotracheally administered epinephrine), you may see a constant color rather than breath-to-breath color change. ● An intravenous (IV) bolus of epinephrine may transiently reduce pulmonary blood flow and exhaled CO2 below the limits of detection.51 ● Severe airway obstruction (eg, status asthmaticus) and pulmonary edema may impair CO2 elimination.49,52–54 Esophageal Detector Devices The self-inflating bulb (esophageal detector device) may be considered to confirm endotracheal tube placement in children weighing 20 kg with a perfusing rhythm (Class IIb; LOE 255,56). There is insufficient data to make a recommendation for or against its use in children during cardiac arrest (Class Indeterminate). Transtracheal Catheter Ventilation Transtracheal catheter ventilation may be considered for support of oxygenation in the patient with severe airway obstruction if you cannot provide oxygen or ventilation any other way. Try transtracheal ventilation only if you are properly trained and have appropriate equipment.57 Suction Devices A suction device with an adjustable suction regulator should be available. Use a maximum suction force of 80 to 120 mm Hg for suctioning the airway via an endotracheal tube.58 You will need higher suction pressures and large-bore noncollapsible suction tubing as well as semirigid pharyngeal tips to suction the mouth and pharynx. Circulation Advanced cardiovascular life support techniques are useless without effective circulation, which is supported by good chest compressions during cardiac arrest. Good chest compressions require an adequate compression rate (100 comPart 12: Pediatric Advanced Life Support IV-169

Backboard A firm surface that extends from the shoulders to the waist and across the full width of the bed provides optimal support for effective chest compressions. In ambulances and mobile life support units, use a spine board.59,60 CPR Techniques and Adjuncts There is insufficient data to make a recommendation for or against the use of mechanical devices to compress the sternum, active compression-decompression CPR, interposed abdominal compression CPR, pneumatic antishock garment during resuscitation from cardiac arrest, and open-chest direct heart compression (Class Indeterminate). For further information see Part 6: “CPR Techniques and Devices.” Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Consider extracorporeal CPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest refractory to initial resuscitation attempts if the condition leading to cardiac arrest is reversible or amenable to heart transplantation, if excellent conventional CPR has been performed after no more than several minutes of no-flow cardiac arrest (arrest time without CPR), and if the institution is able to rapidly perform extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (Class IIb; LOE 561,62). Long-term survival is possible even after 50 minutes of CPR in selected patients.61,62 Cardiovascular Monitoring Attach electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring leads or defibrillator pads as soon as possible and monitor blood pressure. If the patient has an indwelling arterial catheter, use the waveform to guide your technique in compressing the chest. A minor adjustment of your hand position or depth of compression can significantly improve the waveform. Vascular Access Vascular access is essential for administering medications and drawing blood samples. Venous access can be challenging in infants and children during an emergency, whereas intraosseous (IO) access can be easily achieved. Limit the time you attempt venous access,63 and if you cannot achieve reliable access quickly, establish IO access. In cardiac arrest immediate IO access is recommended if no other IV access is already in place. Intraosseous Access IO access is a rapid, safe, and effective route for the administration of medications and fluids,64,65 and it may be used for obtaining an initial blood sample during resuscitation (Class IIa; LOE 365,66). You can safely administer epinephrine, adenosine, fluids, blood products,64,66 and catecholamines.67 Onset of action and drug levels achieved are comparable to venous administration.68 You can also obtain blood specimens for type and crossmatch and for chemical and blood gas analysis even during cardiac arrest,69 but acid-base analysis is inaccurate after sodium bicarbonate administration via the IO cannula.70 Use manual pressure or an infusion pump to administer viscous drugs or rapid fluid boluses,71,72 and follow each medication with a saline flush to promote entry into the central circulation. Venous Access A central intravenous line (IV) provides more secure longterm access, but central drug administration does not achieve higher drug levels or a substantially more rapid response than peripheral administration.73 Endotracheal Drug Administration Any vascular access, IO or IV, is preferable, but if you cannot establish vascular access, you can give lipid-soluble drugs such as lidocaine, epinephrine, atropine, and naloxone (“LEAN”)74,75 via the endotracheal tube,76 although optimal endotracheal doses are unknown (Table 1). Flush with a minimum of 5 mL normal saline followed by 5 assisted manual ventilations.77 If CPR is in progress, stop chest compressions briefly during administration of medications. Although naloxone and vasopressin may be given by the endotracheal route, there are no human studies to support a specific dose. Non–lipid-soluble drugs (eg, sodium bicarbonate and calcium) may injure the airway and should not be administered via the endotracheal route. Administration of resuscitation drugs into the trachea results in lower blood concentrations than the same dose given intravascularly. Furthermore, recent animal studies suggest that the lower epinephrine concentrations achieved when the drug is delivered by the endotracheal route may produce transient -adrenergic effects. These effects can be detrimental, causing hypotension, lower coronary artery perfusion pressure and flow, and reduced potential for return of spontaneous circulation. Thus, although endotracheal administration of some resuscitation drugs is possible, IV or IO drug administration is preferred because it will provide a more predictable drug delivery and pharmacologic effect. Emergency Fluids and Medications Estimating Weight In the out-of-hospital setting a child’s weight is often unknown, and even experienced personnel may not be able to estimate it accurately.78 Tapes with precalculated doses printed at various patient lengths are helpful and have been clinically validated.35,78,79 Hospitalized patients should have weights and precalculated emergency drug doses recorded and readily available. Fluids Use an isotonic crystalloid solution (eg, lactated Ringer’s solution or normal saline)80,81 to treat shock; there is no benefit in using colloid (eg, albumin) during initial resuscitation.82 Use bolus therapy with a glucose-containing solution to only treat documented hypoglycemia (Class IIb; LOE 283; 684).

Precautions Small doses of atropine (0.1 mg) may produce paradoxical bradycardia.93 Larger than recommended doses may be required in special circumstances (eg, organophosphate poisoning94 or exposure to nerve gas agents). Calcium Routine administration of calcium does not improve outcome of cardiac arrest.95 In critically ill children, calcium chloride may provide greater bioavailability than calcium gluconate.96 Preferably administer calcium chloride via a central venous catheter because of the risk of sclerosis or infiltration with a peripheral venous line. Epinephrine The -adrenergic-mediated vasoconstriction of epinephrine increases aortic diastolic pressure and thus coronary perfusion pressure, a critical determinant of successful resuscitation.97,98 Precautions Administer all catecholamines through a secure line, preferably into the central circulation; local ischemia, tissue injury, and ulceration may result from tissue infiltration. Do not mix catecholamines with sodium bicarbonate; alkaline solutions inactivate them. In patients with a perfusing rhythm, epinephrine causes tachycardia and may cause ventricular ectopy, tachyarrhythmias, hypertension, and vasoconstriction.99 Glucose Infants have high glucose requirements and low glycogen stores and develop hypoglycemia when energy requirements rise.100 Check blood glucose concentrations during and after arrest and treat hypoglycemia promptly (Class IIb; LOE 1101; 7 [most extrapolated from neonates and adult ICU studies]). Lidocaine Lidocaine decreases automaticity and suppresses ventricular arrhythmias102 but is not as effective as amiodarone for improving intermediate outcomes (ie, return of spontaneous circulation or survival to hospital admission) among adult patients with VF refractory to a shock and epinephrine.103 Neither lidocaine nor amiodarone has been shown to improve survival to hospital discharge among patients with VF cardiac arrest. Precautions Lidocaine toxicity includes myocardial and circulatory depression, drowsiness, disorientation, muscle twitching, and seizures, especially in patients with poor cardiac output and hepatic or renal failure.104,105 Magnesium There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against the routine administration of magnesium during cardiac arrest (Class Indeterminate).106 –108 Magnesium is indicated for the treatment of documented hypomagnesemia or for torsades de pointes (polymorphic VT associated with long QT interval). Magnesium produces vasodilation and may cause hypotension if administered rapidly. Procainamide Procainamide prolongs the refractory period of the atria and ventricles and depresses conduction velocity. Precautions There is little clinical data on using procainamide in infants and children.109,110 Infuse procainamide very slowly while you monitor for hypotension, prolongation of the QT interval, and heart block. Stop the infusion if the QRS widens to 50% of baseline or if hypotension develops. Use extreme caution when administering with another drug causing QT prolongation, such as amiodarone. Consider obtaining expert consultation. Sodium Bicarbonate The routine administration of sodium bicarbonate has not been shown to improve outcome of resuscitation (Class Indeterminate). After you have provided effective ventilation and chest compressions and administered epinephrine, you may consider sodium bicarbonate for prolonged cardiac arrest (Class IIb; LOE 6). Sodium bicarbonate administration may be used for treatment of some toxidromes (see “Toxicologic Emergencies,” below) or special resuscitation situations. During cardiac arrest or severe shock, arterial blood gas analysis may not accurately reflect tissue and venous acidosis.111,112 Precautions Excessive sodium bicarbonate may impair tissue oxygen delivery113; cause hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypernatremia, and hyperosmolality114,115; decrease the VF threshold116; and impair cardiac function. Vasopressin There is limited experience with the use of vasopressin in pediatric patients,117 and the results of its use in the treatment of adults with VF cardiac arrest have been inconsistent.118 –121 There is insufficient evidence to make a recommendation for or against the routine use of vasopressin during cardiac arrest (Class Indeterminate; LOE 5117; 6121, 7118 –120 [extrapolated from adult literature]). Pulseless Arrest In the text below, box numbers identify the corresponding box in the algorithm (Figure 1.) If a victim becomes unresponsive (Box 1), start CPR immediately (with supplementary oxygen if available) and send for a defibrillator (manual or automated external defibrillator [AED]). Asystole and bradycardia with a wide QRS complex are most common in asphyxial cardiac arrest.1,23 VF and pulseless electrical activity (PEA) are less common122 and more likely to be observed in children with sudden arrest.

energy adjustment that is appropriate for children. Many AED parameters are set automatically. When using a manual defibrillator, several elements should be considered, and they are highlighted below. Paddle Size Use the largest paddles or self-adhering electrodes129 –131 that will fit on the chest wall without touching (leave about 3 cm between the paddles). The best paddle size is ● Adult paddles (8 to 10 cm) for children 10 kg (more than approximately 1 year of age) ● Infant paddles for infants weighing 10 kg Interface The electrode– chest wall interface can be gel pads, electrode cream, paste, or self-adhesive monitoring-defibrillation pads. Do not use saline-soaked pads, ultrasound gel, bare paddles, or alcohol pads. Paddle Position Apply firm pressure on the paddles (manual) placed over the right side of the upper chest and the apex of the heart (to the left of the nipple over the left lower ribs). Alternatively place one electrode on the front of the chest just to the left of the sternum and the other over the upper back below the scapula.132 Energy Dose The lowest energy dose for effective defibrillation and the upper limit for safe defibrillation in infants and children are not known. Energy doses 4 J/kg (up to 9 J/kg) have effectively defibrillated children133–135 and pediatric animal models136 with negligible adverse effects. Based on data from adult studies137,138 and pediatric animal models,139 –141 biphasic shocks appear to be at least as effective as monophasic shocks and less harmful. With a manual defibrillator (monophasic or biphasic), use a dose of 2 J/kg for the first attempt (Class IIa; LOE 5142; 6136) and 4 J/kg for subsequent attempts (Class Indeterminate). AEDs Many AEDs can accurately detect VF in children of all ages143–145 and differentiate shockable from nonshockable rhythms with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.143,144 Since publication of the ECC Guidelines 2000, data has shown that AEDs can be safely and effectively used in children 1 to 8 years of age.143–146 There is insufficient data to make a recommendation for or against using an AED in infants 1 year of age (Class Indeterminate).146 When using an AED for children about 1 to 8 years old, use a pediatric attenuator system, which decreases the delivered energy to a dose suitable for children (Class IIb; LOE 5136; 6139,141). If an AED with a pediatric attenuating system is not available, use a standard AED, preferably one with sensitivity and specificity for pediatric shockable rhythms. It is recommended that systems and institutions caring for children and having AED programs should use AEDs with both a high specificity to recognize pediatric shockable rhythms and a pediatric attenuating system. Defibrillation Sequence (Boxes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) The following are important considerations: ● Attempt defibrillation immediately. The earlier you attempt defibrillation, the more likely the attempt will be successful. ● Provide CPR until the defibrillator is ready to deliver a shock, and resume CPR, beginning with chest compressions, immediately after shock delivery. Minimize interruptions of chest compressions. In adults with a prolonged arrest147,148 and animal models,134,149 defibrillation is more likely to be successful after a period of effective chest compressions. Ideally, chest compressions should be interrupted only for ventilations (until an advanced airway is in place), rhythm check, and shock delivery. Rescuers should provide chest compressions after a rhythm check (when possible) while the defibrillator is charging. ● Give 1 shock (2 J/kg) as quickly as possible and immediately resume CPR, beginning with chest compressions (Box 4). Biphasic defibrillators have a first shock success rate that exceeds 90%.150 If 1 shock fails to eliminate VF, the incremental benefit of another shock is low, and resumption of CPR is likely to confer a greater value than another shock. CPR may provide some coronary perfusion with oxygen and substrate delivery, increasing the likelihood of defibrillation with a subsequent shock. It is important to minimize the time between any interruption in chest compressions and shock delivery and between shock delivery and resumption of postshock compressions. Check the rhythm (Box 5). Continue CPR for about 5 cycles (about 2 minutes). In in-hospital settings with continuous monitoring (eg, electrocardiographic, hemodynamic) in place, this sequence may be modified at the physician’s discretion (see Part 7.2: “Management of Cardiac Arrest”). ● Check the rhythm (Box 5). If a shockable rhythm persists, give 1 shock (4 J/kg), resume compressions immediately. Give a dose of epinephrine. The drug should be administered as soon as possible after the rhythm check. It is helpful if a third rescuer prepares the drug doses before the rhythm is checked so a drug can be administered as soon as possible after the rhythm is checked. A drug should be administered during the CPR that is performed while the defibrillator is charging or immediately after shock delivery. However, the timing of drug administration is less important than the need to minimize interruptions in chest compressions. Use a standard dose of epinephrine for the first and subsequent doses (Class IIa; LOE 4).151 There is no survival benefit from routine use of high-dose epinephrine, and it may be harmful, particularly in asphyxia (Class III; LOE 2, 4).151 High-dose epinephrine may be considered in exceptional circumstances, such as -blocker overdose (Class IIb). Give the standard dose of epinephrine about every 3 to 5 minutes during cardiac arrest. ● After 5 cycles (approximately 2 minutes) of CPR, check the rhythm (Box 7). If the rhythm continues to be “shockable,” deliver a shock (4 J/kg), resume CPR (beginning with chest compressions) immediately, and give amiodarone (Class IIb; LOE 3, 7)103, 152–154 or lidocaine if you IV-174 Circulation December 13, 2005

do not have amiodarone (Box 8) while CPR is provided. Continue CPR for 5 cycles (about 2 minutes) before again checking the rhythm and attempting to defibrillate if needed with 4 J/kg (you now have returned to Box 6). ● Once an advanced airway is in place, 2 rescuers no longer deliver cycles of CPR (ie, compressions interrupted by pauses for ventilation). Instead, the compressing rescuer should give continuous chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute without pauses for ventilation. The rescuer delivering ventilation provides 8 to 10 breaths per minute. Two or more rescuers should rotate the compressor role approximately every 2 minutes to prevent compressor fatigue and deterioration in quality and rate of chest compressions. ● If you have a monitor or an AED with a rhythm display and there is an organized rhythm at any time, check for a pulse and proceed accordingly (Box 12). ● If defibrillation is successful but VF recurs, continue CPR while you give another bolus of amiodarone before you try to defibrillate with the previously successful shock dose (see Box 8). ● Search for and treat reversible causes (see green “During CPR” box). Torsades de Pointes This polymorphic VT is seen in patients with a long QT interval, which may be congenital or may result from toxicity with type IA antiarrhythmics (eg, procainamide, quinidine, and disopyramide) or type III antiarrhythmics (eg, sotalol and amiodarone), tricyclic antidepressants (see below), digitalis, or drug interactions.155,156 These are examples of contributing factors listed in the green box in the algorithm. Treatment Regardless of the cause, treat torsades de pointes with a rapid (over several minutes) IV infusion of magnesium sulfate. “Nonshockable Rhythm”: Asystole/PEA (Box 9) The most common ECG findings in infants and children in cardiac arrest are asystole and PEA. PEA is organized electrical activity—most commonly slow, wide QRS complexes—without palpable pulses. Less frequently there is a sudden impairment of cardiac output with an initially normal rhythm but without pulses and with poor perfusion. This subcategory (formerly known as electromechanical dissociation [EMD]) is more likely to be treatable. For asystole and PEA: ● Resume CPR and continue with as few interruptions in chest compressions as possible (Box 10). A second rescuer gives epinephrine while the first continues CPR. As with VF/pulseless VT, there is no survival benefit from routine high-dose epinephrine, and it may be harmful, particularly in asphyxia (Class III; LOE 2151; 699,157,158; 7159). Use a standard dose for the first and subsequent doses (Class IIa; LOE 4).151 High-dose epinephrine may be considered in exceptional circumstances such as -blocker overdose (Class IIb). ● Search for and treat reversible causes (see the green box). Bradycardia Box numbers in the text below refer to the corresponding boxes in the PALS Bradycardia Algorithm (Figure 2). The emergency treatment of bradycardia depends on its hemodynamic consequences. ● This algorithm applies to the care of the patient with bradycardia that is causing cardiorespiratory compromise (Box 1). If at any time the patient develops pulseless arrest, see the PALS Pulseless Arrest Algorithm. ● Support airway, breathing, and circulation as needed, administer oxygen, and attach a monitor/defibrillator (Box 2). ● Reassess the patient to determine if bradycardia is still causing cardiorespiratory symptoms despite support of adequate oxygenation and ventilation (Box 3). ● If pulses, perfusion, and respirations are normal, no emergency treatment is necessary. Monitor and proceed with evaluation (Box 5A). ● If heart rate is 60 beats per minute with poor perfusion despite effective ventilation with oxygen, start chest compressions (Box 6). ● Reevaluate the patient to determine if signs of hemodynamic compromise persist despite the support of adequate oxygenation and ventilation and compressions if indicated (Box 5). Verify that the support is adequate— eg, check airway and oxygen source and effectiveness of ventilation. ● Medications and pacing (Box 6) —Continue to support airway, ventilation, oxygenation (and provide compressions as needed) and give epinephrine (Class IIa; LOE 7, 8). If bradycardia persists or responds only transiently, consider a continuous infusion of epinephrine or isoproterenol. —If bradycardia is due to vagal stimulation, give atropine (Class I) (Box 6). Emergency transcutaneous pacing may be lifesaving if the bradycardia is due to complete heart block or sinus node dysfunction unresponsive to ventilation, oxygenation, chest compressions, and medications, especially if it is associated with congenital or acquired heart disease (Class IIb; LOE 5, 7).160 Pacing is not useful for asystole160,161 or bradycardia due to postarrest hypoxic/ischemic myocardial insult or respiratory failure. Tachycardia and Hemodynamic Instability The box numbers in the text below correspond to the numbered boxes in the Tachycardia Algorithm (Figure 3) If there are no palpable pulses, proceed with the PALS Pulseless Arrest Algorithm. If pulses are palpable and the patient has signs of hemodynamic compromise (poor perfusion, tachypnea, weak pulses), ensure that the airway is patent, assist ventilations if necessary, administer supplementary oxygen, and attach an ECG monitor or defibrillator (Box 1). Assess QRS duration (Box 2): determine if the QRS duration is 0.08 second (narrow-complex tachycardia) or 0.08 second (wide-complex tachycardia). Narrow-Complex (<0.08 Second) Tachycardia Evaluation of a 12-lead ECG (Box 3) and the patient’s clinical presentation and history (Boxes 4 and 5) should help Part 12: Pediatric Advanced Life Support IV-175
