 Drowning :
 Consider cervical spine injury

Pediatric cardiac arrest :
special circumstances

 Neonates, infants, and children are primarily
dependent on HR for maintenance of CO.
 Bradycardia and hypo perfusion signs critically ill
child
 HR < 60/min with hypoperfusion  proper
oxygenation and ventilation CPR
Bradycardia in pediatrics

 Sepsis is the leading cause of death in peads
 High mortality rate 10%
 Septic shock is : Simultaneous presence of
 SIRS
 Documented or suspected infection
 Cardiovascular failure (Low BP or need introps
despite resuscitation with 40ml/kg of crystalloids)

Hypotension formula (systolic BP below) :
70mmHg + { child age in years*2} mmHg

 Respiratory failure is more common in peads than cardiac
arrest
 Effective Rx of Respiratory failure prevents cardiac arrest.
 Physiology:


 Excellent CPR is the foundation for successful resuscitation from
cardiac arrest.

 Rapid administration of isotonic fluids is the initial step in
resuscitation for all forms of pediatric shock.

Editor's Notes

  • #9 Rate of survival to hospital discharge is higher if carrdiac arrest at hospital 33% Compared with out side hospital 6% Shockable 34 V.s Non shockable 24
  • #14 Causes of arrest in Trauma : Hypoxia due to respiatory arrest , airway obsturction or tracheal injury Severe brain injury with CVS collapse Cervical spinal injury Tension pneumothorax, Temponade , massive hmorrhage.
  • #16 Conversely, illnesses or injuries resulting in negative chronotropy (e.g., heart block, toxicity from beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers) tend to result in more profound shock and hypoperfusion in children than in adults with similar processes.
  • #19 Fever is among the most common A study from a pediatric ED examining children with fever, tachycardia, and tachypnea found that altered mental status (as judged by attending physicians) was present in 19% of children, AMS has less specifity for septic shock 85%
  • #20 Hypoglycenia: Poor glycogen store Rx: 10ml/kg of 5% dextros; 2ml/kg of 25%dextrose Hypocalcemia Fluids: Isotonic crystalloids (NS or Lactated ringer)>> 60ml/kg over 15min Vasopressor: Normotensive: dopamin Warm shock : noradernaline Cold shock : epinephrine Corticosteroids: Adrenal insufficincy common in peads CORTICUS trial in adult >> no beneifit in septic shock In peads : not conclsive Dose 2mg/kg bolus After initial resuscitation re evaluate : HR , BP and perfusion NorEpi for warms shock because : potent alpha receptors vasoconstrictor (Increase SVR) and good Iontropic effect Normotensive septic shock: dopamin Is dose dependent : low increase renal and hepatic blood flow , moderate increase cardiac contractility , high increase SVR If no response (poor perfusion ) start epinephrine
  • #22 Small surface area: less gase change and high chance of alveolar hypoventilation in acute illness
