Resuscitation
• Reanimation (Fr)
• Resuscitare (L) – the restoration of life of one apparently dead
Case Study
• A 5-year old girl is brought to your emergency department by paramedics after being found at home to be apneic, and pulseless. She has received only BVM ventilation and chest compressions en route.
Case Study: Questions/Objectives
• Why do children arrest?
• What are the likely outcomes of these children?
• What’s your dose of epinephrine and why?
• What are these new agents and when do we use them?

• Respiratory arrests had better outcome
• predictors of non-survival:– > 15 minutes of CPR– administration of more than 1 dose of epi
What’s your dose of epinephrine and why?
High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrest
Goetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26
• Compared a prospectively treated high-dose epinephrine (HDE) study group with historical cohorts receiving conventional dose (SDE) with respect to the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)
High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrest
Goetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26
• 20 consecutive patients treated for cardiac arres who failed ROSC after 2 doses of SDE (0.01 mg/kg) five min apart were given HDE (o.2 mg/kg) in 1:10 000 for infants and 1:1000 for older patients
High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrest
Goetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26
• Iv line was flushed after each dose
• atropine 0.01 mg/kg was given for bradycardia and asystole with each SDE
• sodium bicarbonate 1 mEq/kg was administered between each SDE
• all patients ventilated with 100 % O2
High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrest
Goetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26
• ROSC was defined as– a supraventricular rhythm with palpable pulses
or – an invasive systolic pressure greater than 60
mm Hg
High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrest
Goetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26
• historic controls - – 20 consecutive children treated by the same
author over 12 months – with witnessed arrests, – receiving ACLS within 5 min, and – receiving more than 2 SDE’s
High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrest
Goetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26
• 14 of HDE had ROSC within 5 minutes versus none of the controls (p<0.001)– all 14 responded with sinus tachycardia for at
least 15 min– mild to moderate hypertension for 20 min in 8– 10 placed on vasopressor drips
High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrest
Goetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26
• 14 survivors:– 8 survived to discharge:
• 6 regained pre-arrest neurologic level– 3 developmentally normal 6 - 17 mo later (pulmonary
contusions, hypovolemia, septic shock)
– 3 regained severe pre-existing cognitive level
• 2 with global cortical damage
What are these new agents and when do we use them?
New Guidelines
• amiodarone
• procainamide
• lidocaine
Amiodarone
• Inhibits outward K current - prolongs QT
• Inhibits Na channels - slows and conduction (prolongs QRS)
• Non-competitive inhibitor of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors– secondary to sympathetic block - vasodilatation
and AV nodal suppression Non-competitive
Amiodarone
• Most commonly used for ectopic atrial tachycardia or junctional ectopic tachycardia post cardiac surgery
• 5 mg/kg loading infusion over minutes to 15 mg/kg/day
• hypotension is the main adverse effect
Procainamide
• Sodium channel blocking agent - prolongs refractory period and depresses conduction velocity - prolonged QT and PR intervals
• effective for atrial fibrillation and flutter, SVT, JET, and perfusing VT
Procainamide
• Must be given by slow infusion to avoid heart block, myocardial depression, and prolonged QT
• 15 mg/kg over 30 to 60 min– stop infusion if hypotension or QRS widens to
> 50 % of baseline
Lidocaine
• Not effective for ventricular arrhythmias in infants or children unless associated with focal myocardial ischemia
• may be considered in shock-resistant VF or pulseless VT
• 1 mg/kg bolus then 20 to 50 ug/kg/min

Pulseless Arrest
ETIV, IO
Epinephrine
• Alpha and beta-adrenergic properties– Alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction – Increases aortic diastolic pressure and coronary
perfusion
High Dose Epinephrine
• 10 to 20 times the standard dose
• A dangerous dose in one patient may be lifesaving in another– Improved survival and neurological outcome– Increased myocardial consumption and post
arrest hyperadrenergic state
New Guidelines: Epinephrine
• The conventional dose of epinephrine is recommended for second and subsequent doses
• Higher doses may be considered
New Guidelines: Bradycardia
• Atropine is recommended in the treatment of symptomatic bradycardia caused by AV block or increased vagal tone
New Guidelines: SVT
• Vagal maneuvers introduced
• Verapamil remains contraindicated in infants
• Amiodarone
• Procainamide
New Guidelines: Stable VT
• Amiodarone
• Procainamide or lidocaine considered alternative agents
New Guidelines: Pulseless VT/VF
• Defibrillation 2 J/kg, 4 J/kg, 4 J/kg
• Epinephrine
• Amiodarone
