Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • Assess for the presence of a pulse at the initial evaluation and throughout CPR.
  • In assessing for presence of pulse, focus on only 1 consistent anatomic location for <10 seconds.
  • Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) can be used without attenuation for children aged ≥8 years. For children aged <8 years, pediatric pads or a dose attenuator are preferred. If neither are available, standard AED equipment can be used.
  • The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines should be followed for infants in the immediate newborn period (after ED delivery or presenting after a home birth).88 For all other children, follow the PALS guidelines.6
