Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Compiled By :- Mr. Ashish H. Roy B.Sc Nursing,S.G.P.G.I.M.S Lucknow (NURSING TUTOR)
CPR When cardiac arrest occurs, the heart stops pumping blood. CPR can support a small amount of blood flow to the heart and brain to “buy time” until normal heart function is restored.
WHY CPR??? Rapid and effective bystander CPR is associated with successful return of spontaneous circulation and neurologically intact survival in children. Respiratory arrest: > 70% survival rate Ventricular fibrillation: 30% survival rate But only 2% to 10% of all children who develop out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survive, and most are neurologically devastated.
Pediatric CPR Pediatric basic life support (BLS) Pediatric advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) Prolonged life support
Basic Life Support Airway Breathing Circulation
Most Important Intervention Adequate oxygenation, ventilation
2005 American Heart Association, PBLS Algorithm No response, send someone to call resuscitation team Open airway, check breathing If not breathing, give two breaths that makes chest rise One rescuer: 30 C & 2 B Two rescuer: 15 C & 2 B Child < 1 year: continue CPR Child > 1 year: Use AED after 5 cycles of CPR If no response, check for definite pulse within 10 sec. Give one breath q 3 sec Child > 1 year: Check rhythm Resume CPR, check rhythm q 5 cycles, continue until ALS provider take over or victim start to move Give 1 shock Resume CPR immediately for 5 cycles No Yes Non shockable Shockable
2005 American Heart Association, PBLS Algorithm 100
Chain of survival 102, 1099
Check the response If the child is unresponsive and is not moving, shout for help and start CPR. If you are alone, continue CPR for 5 cycles (about 2 minutes). One cycle of CPR for the lone rescuer is 30 compressions and 2 breaths
Airway Head-tilt/chin-lift method Big tongue; Forward jaw displacement critical Avoid extreme hyperextension With possible neck injury, jaw thrust
Look in the mouth Do a jaw lift and look in the mouth. If you see food or a foreign object , follow up with a finger sweep Never do a blind finger sweep.
Airway position Head-tilt/chin-lift method Jaw thrust maneuer
Check breathing Look-Listen-Feel for 10 sec. Limit to volume causing chest rise Pedi BVM’s should not have pop-off valves BVM-get good seal with no leaking Use E-C method for BVM
Look listen & feel
Give rescue breaths Pinch the victim's nose shut. Place your mouth over the mouth of the victim. Create a good tight air seal with your mouth over the mouth of the victim and give 2 slow, gentle breaths. Breathe in only enough air to make the victim's chest to rise up a little bit
Methods Mouth-to-Mouth Rescue Breathing Mouth-to–Barrier Device Breathing Mouth-to-Nose and Mouth-to-Stoma Ventilation Ventilation With Bag and Mask Ventilation With an advanced Airway
E C-E position for BVM
Breathing Ensure proper head-tilt chin lift and provide breaths with bag Ventilate infants and children every 3 seconds Ventilate older children every 5 seconds Ensure adequate chest rise with breaths If using BVM, obtain adequate seal-use EC grip If via ET: 1 breath / 6-8 seconds
CHILD-Airway obstruction
Circulation Feel for pulse: Infants: check brachial Children: check carotid Feel for pulse on side closest to you Check for pulse for 10 seconds 90% of pediatric cardiac arrest is bradycardia, PEA, or asystole
Circulation If despite oxygenation and ventilation the pulse is 60 bpm and there are signs of poor perfusion (i.e. pallor, cyanosis), begin chest compressions. If the pulse is 60 bpm but the infant or child is not breathing, provide rescue breathing (12 to 20 bpm) without chest compressions .
Circulation Infant chest compressions 2 fingers 1 finger width below nipple line 1/2 - 1 inches At least 100/minute
Circulation Child chest compressions One hand Lower half of sternum 1 - 1.5 inches 100/minute
Breathing & circulation Chest compressions: 30:2 one responder, with two responders 15:2 Ensure adequate chest recoil after compression
Best Sign of Effective Ventilation Chest Rise
Best Sign of Effective Circulation Pulse with Each Compression
Circulation-children Chest compressions: 30:2 with one responder, 15:2 with two Use one hand Compress on lower half of sternum Ensure adequate chest recoil after compression
Circulation-older children For older/adult size children 30:2 ratio, even with 2 responders Use 2 hands Ensure adequate chest recoil after compressions
Oxygen Therapy Use highest possible FiO 2 No risk in short term 100% O 2 Humidify if possible Avoids plugging airways, adjuncts
AEDs
Termination of Resuscitative Efforts Unfortunately there are no reliable predictors of outcome during resuscitation to guide when to terminate resuscitative efforts. Prolonged efforts should be made for infants and children with recurring or refractory VF or VT, drug toxicity, or primary hypothermic insult.

Nursing care after resuscitation
Nursing CARE Nursing. Diagnosis : r isk for altered respiratory pattern r/t disease condition . Interventions: Assess respiratory rate. Auscultate breath sounds. Recovery/ Fowler’s position if difficulty. Monitor pulse oximetry and ABG analysis. Report any abnormality. Continuous monitoring for the first half hr. of defibrillation.
Nursing Diagnosis: decreased cardiac output r/t cardiac arrest, dysrhythmia . Interventions: Assess vitals signs, CVP, urinary output and peripheral pulses. Assess heart rate and rhythm (ECG). Oxygen administration as hypoxia can lead to further dysrhytmias . Administer drugs, antidysrhythmic medication as ordered. Administer fluid therapy as ordered. Prepare for pacemaker therapy, if required.
Nursing Diagnosis: altered tissue perfusion r/t to decreased cardiac output. Interventions: Note the color and temperature of the skin. Assess hemodynamic pressures hrly . Monitor peripheral pulses q4h. Monitor urine out put q4h. Monitor lactate levels. Provide warm environment.
Nursing Diagnosis: r isk for fluid electrolyte imbalance r/t altered physiology. Interventions: Monitor intake and output. Administer fluid and diuretics. Monitor electrolytes daily and replace as ordered. Monitor BUN, creatinine and urine electrolytes daily.
Nsg. Diagnosis : Risk for complications r/t disease process, procedure performed and defibrillation. Interventions: Assess level of consciousness. Reorient the time, place and person. Assess vital signs and ECG continuously. Initiate IV antidysrhythmics therapy. Administer IV fluid to correct fluid electrolyte imbalances
Monitor lactate levels. Correct lactic acidosis. Maintain blood glucose within normal range using insulin. Assess for burns and treat the injury. Document neurological, respiratory and cardiovascular status before and after the defibrillation.
Nsg. Diagnosis : Altered family process r/t fear about unknown outcome. Interventions : Prepare patient and family and explain what is expected. Clarify any misconceptions. Provide adequate rest to the patient. Encourage to ask questions related to equipments, monitoring, treatment.
Family Presence During Resuscitation Family members with no medical background report that being at the side of a loved one and saying goodbye during the final moments of life is comforting and helps in their adjustment, have less anxiety and depression and more constructive grieving behavior. Members of the resuscitation team must be sensitive to the presence of family members, and one person should be assigned to comfort, answer questions, and discuss the needs of the family
