6. 1) Prevention of arrest
2) Early high quality bystander CPR
3) Rapid activation of Emergency Response System (ERS)
4) Effective Advanced Life Support (ALS)
5) Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
7. Tier 1: Hands only CPR
Tier 2: Compression and
breathing CPR
Out-of hospital setting
Lay rescuers( limited BLS
skills)
Chest compressions only
Skilled BLS rescuer
30:2 compression- ventilation
ratio
8. Tier 3: Multi-rescuer coordinated CPR
Compression
Ventilation
Defibrillation
Team of multiple skilled rescuers.
9. Start compression within 10 s of recognition of cardiac arrest.
Push hard ( >1/3 anteroposterior diameter of chest)
Push fast (100-120 compressions per minute)
Allow complete chest recoil
Minimize interruptions
Avoid excessive ventilation
Compression ventilation ratio ( single rescuer 30:2; multiple
rescuer 15:2)
If advanced airway is in place , one breath should be given
every 6s with continuous chest compressions.

15. Clinical assessment Brief description
Primary assessment Rapid hands on ABCDE approach to
evaluate respiratory, cardiac and
neurological functions,
Includes assessment of vital signs &
pulse oximetry
Secondary assessment A focused medical history and a
focused physical exam
Diagnostic assessments Laboratory, radiological and other
advanced tests that helps the child’s
physiological condition and
diagnosis
16. Type and severity of potential problems:
TYPE SEVERITY
RESPIRATORY Upper airway obstruction
Lower airway obstruction
Lung tissue disease
Disordered control of breathing
Respiratory distress
Respiratory failure
CIRCULATORY Hypovolemic shock
Distributive shock
Cardiogenic shock
Obstructive shock
Compensated shock
Hypotensive shock
CARDIOPULMONARY FAILURE
CARDIAC ARREST
18. T- Tone

Appearance reflects the adequacy of oxygenation,
ventilation, brain perfusion and CNS function.
A child who is alert, easily consolable when crying, has good
muscle tone, and responds to a caregiver is unlikely to be
critically ill.
23. Hands on approach.
Rapid cardiopulmonary and brain assessment.
TARGET-Identify severity and type of physiological
insufficiency and follow E-I-I.
5 components-

• Listen for any noisy
breathing
Maintainable Positioning, suctioning,
noninvasive simple airway
adjuncts like oropharyngeal
airway or nasopharyngeal

Quiet tachypnea d/t fever , anxiety , cardiac , sepsis ,
metabolic , or central causes(without use of any
accessory muscles)
28. BRADYPNEA
More ominous than the fast breathing
Any breathing rate less than 10 per min. at all ages is
abnormal
: Respiratory muscle fatigue

36. Signs of Shock (inability of circulation to meet the metabolic
demands of the body) picked up on clinical evaluation
5 components

Examine-radial , temporal, posterior tibial
Low CO states= weak peripheral pulses f/b fall in bp f/b low
volume central pulsations
40. Evaluated under the nail bed or skin
CRT in a normal individual- within 2 secs
Increased CRT indicative of shock
41. Normal pink color [ appreciable on skin over the face, ear
lobes, palms and soles, oral mucosa and conjunctival mucosa]
Pale – low Hb / poor circulation /N in individuals with thick

47. After the initial Evaluation,Identification ,and
Interventions to stabilize the chid more information is
gathered from
Focussed history
Focussed physical exam
Ongoing reassessment
48. Focused history has six component parameters which
together can be remembered as mnemonic ''SAMPLE''.
S - Signs & symptoms (Symptoms are important but they
are subjective)
A - Allergies
M - Medication
P - Past medical history
L - Last meal/last oral intake
E - Events leading to present illness/injury
49. The physical examination Focuses on areas that have
not been covered in the primary assessment. These
would be the neck, lymph nodes, throat, neck
stiffness, and cardiac evaluations including the
murmurs and examination
Severity of the child’s illness or injury should
determine the extent of the physical exam
50. Essential to evaluate the response to treatment and to track the
progression of identified physiological and anatomical
problems
Elements :
PAT
ABCDE with vital signs & SpO2
Assessment of abnormal anatomical and physiological findings
Review of the effectiveness of treatment interventions
51. ABG (Arterial Blood Gas)/VBG (Venous)/CBG
(Capillary Blood Glucose)
Hb count
Central venous O2 saturation
Arterial lactate
CVP (Central Venous Pressure)
Helps detect and identify the presence and severity of
respiratory and circulatory problems.
53. A 6 month old boy brought to Emergency by the mother with
a frequent vomiting for 24 hrs. He is lethargic, irritable on
touch and his cry is weak. No abnormal airway sounds,
retractions or nasal flaring. He is pale and mottled.
HR=180/min, RR=60/min, BP=70/50mmhg, T= 37c. CRT is 4
sec, skin is cool and brachial pulse is weak. Chest exam
showed normal equal air entry and normal breath sound.
Other systemic exam is unremarkable.
1. What are the key signs of illness ?
2. What is the clinical impression ?
3. What will you do next ?
54. General initial assessment use PAT:
Appearance : Abnormal (lethargic, irritable on touch and
decreased tone, weak cry).
Work of breathing: Tachypnea
Circulation to skin : Abnormal (pale and mottled).
Clinical impression: severely ill suggestive of Shock
55. Primary survey: ABCDE
Circulation: Abnormal ( Tachycardia, tachypnea, cool
skin, prolonged CRT and weak pulse).
This confirm the PAT impression of shock.
56. After Identification of problem: hypovolemic shock
Treat: Resuscitation with IV or IO 20ml/kg of NS.
Reassess Secondary survey: history and physical
exam
Diagnostic test: ABG, blood sugar, urea and serum
electrolytes…etc
