  1. 5th percentile for SBP formula
    • 70 + (2*age) mm Hg
    • (Goal for SBP post ROSC)
  2. Goal PaO2 after ROSC
    94%
  3. 1-rescuer peds CPR compression :ventilation ratio
    30:2
  4. 2-rescuer peds CPR compression :ventilation ratio
    15:2
  5. Peds rescue breathing rate:
    12-20/minute (every 3-5 seconds)
  6. Peds compression rate:
    100-120/minute
  7. Peds compression depth:
    • 1/3 AP diameter:
    • 1.5” in infant,
    • 2” child,
    • 2-2.4” adolescent/adult
  8. Pediatric assessment triangle (PAT)
    • ABC
    • Appearance
    • work of Breathing
    • Circulation
  9. TICLS is to assess appearance
    • Tone
    • Interactiveness
    • Consolability
    • Look/gaze/stare
    • Speech/cry
  10. Foreign body obstruction technique:
    • <1 yo = 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts
    • >1 yo = abdominal thrusts/Heimlich
    • If unresponsive:
    • Begin CPR
    • Look into mouth and remove object if seen
  11. E-C clamp technique for infant mask seal
    • Lift jaw with 3-5 fingers
    • use thumb and index finger to hold mask to face
  12. Defibrillator PADDLE sizes:
    • infant = <10 kg (1 year)
    • adult = >10 kg (>1 year)
  13. Measures to relieve airway obstruction:
    • Position of comfort
    • Minimize agitation
    • Manual maneuvers - jaw thrust/head tilt-chin lift
    • Suctioning - nose or mouth
    • Foreign body removal
    • Medications - to reduce airway swelling
    • Airway adjuncts
    • Advanced Airway
    • Surgical Airway
  14. Causes of upper airway obstruction:
    • Foreign body
    • Plugging - Secretions, Bronchiolitis
    • Swelling - anaphylaxis, tonsillar hypertrophy, croup, epiglottitis
    • Mass lesions - abscess or tumor
    • Narrowing - Congenital or acquired (subglottic stenosis secondary to intubation)
  15. Croup Severity:
    • Mild - occasional barking cough, little or no stridor, absent or mild retractions
    • Moderate - frequent barking cough, stridor at rest, retractions at rest, little or no agitation, good air entry by auscultation
    • Severe - frequent barking cough, prominent inspiratory and expiratory stridor, marked retractions, significant agitation, decreased air entry by auscultation
  16. Croup treatment by severity:
    • Mild - PO dexamethasone
    • Moderate - + O2, racemic epic, 2 hour observation,  
    • Severe - + heliox, IV dexamethasone, high flow O2, secure airway
  17. Causes of lower airway obstruction:
    • Bronchiolitis
    • Asthma
  18. Bronchiolitis Management:
    • Suctioning - Oral or nasal as needed
    • Oxygen if SaO2 <94%
    • Trial of albuterol or epinephrine
    • HFNC
  19. Asthma Severity
  20. Asthma Management
    • Mild - Albuterol via MDI or nebulizer, consider oral steroids, monitor peak flow
    • Moderate - + ipratropium, oral or IV steroids, O2 to keep SaO2 ≥94%, consider CXR
    • Severe - + IV steroid, magnesium, ABG, terbutaline subq or IV, NIPPV with BIPAP or nasal cannula for infant, consider ETT
  21. Causes of lung tissue disease:
    • Pneumonia
    • Pneumonitis
    • Pulmonary edema
    • Pulmonary contusion
    • ARDS
  22. Causes of disordered breathing control
    • Increased ICP - infection, hemorrhage/TBI, Tumor, hydrocephalus, hypoxic/ischemic insult
    • Neuromuscular disease - congenital, botulism, guillane-barre
    • Poisoning or drug OD
