Peds Post-Cardiac Arrest Algorithm

Question 1

Explain the whole Peds Post-Cardiac Arrest Algorithm

Answer 1

I really do not think there are any appreciable differences for Adults vs Children as to what you are supposed to do post-cardiac arrest.

One thing to note is TTM (hypothermia) is a component of peds post-cardiac arrest algorithm for comatose patients, just like it is for adults.

After having a good look at the Adult ROSC one, I see that the same principles apply to Peds and I should NOT try to memorize this one whatsoever. Just give the same answer for peds and adults, which is found on the frst card of the Adult ROSC card.
