Objectives

Page 3: Pediatrics Review Emergency Gina Neto, MD FRCPC Division of Emergency Medicine.

Pediatric Resuscitation

• Pediatric Airway• Larger head• Bigger tongue• Narrowest part is

subglottic area• Epiglottis is more floppy• Larynx is more anterior

and cephalad• Chest wall more

compliant

Page 4: Pediatrics Review Emergency Gina Neto, MD FRCPC Division of Emergency Medicine.

• Airway Management• Position, suctioning• Nasal/Oral airway• Endotracheal intubation

Cuffed tube size: age/4 + 3 (+/- 0.5mm)

• MedicationsAtropine (consider if< 6 yrs)Paralytic - Succinylcholine, RocuroniumKetamine, Midazolam/Fentanyl, Propofol

• Bradycardia• Non-Cardiac causes (6 H’s, 5 T’s)

Hypoxia (Most Common) Hypovolemia, Hypo/Hyperkalemia,

Hypoglycemia, HypothermiaToxins, Tamponade, Thrombosis, Trauma (ICP)

• Cardiac causes - AV block, sick sinus

• Epinephrine 0.01 mg/kg (repeat every 5 min)• Consider Atropine 0.02 mg/kg

Pediatric Resuscitation

• Tachycardia• Narrow• Wide• Stable or Unstable

• Know what is normal for age

Page 9: Pediatrics Review Emergency Gina Neto, MD FRCPC Division of Emergency Medicine.

• Sinus Tachycardia• Rate usually < 220/min• Variable rate• Look for causes

Pain, fever, dehydration, resp distress, poor perfusion

• SVT• Rate usually > 220/min infants, > 160

teens• Rate is fixed

Pediatric Resuscitation

Page 10: Pediatrics Review Emergency Gina Neto, MD FRCPC Division of Emergency Medicine.

• SVT• Vagal maneuvers

Ice to face, Valsalva

• Adenosine 0.1 mg/kg 1st dose then 0.2 mg/kg

• If Unstable:• Synchronized Cardioversion 0.5-1 J/kg

If not effective increase to 2 J/kg

Salicylates

• Clinical Effects• GI upset - N&V, Gastritis • Tinnitus – often the first symptom• CNS – Confusion, Lethargy, Cerebral

edema• Hyperpnea – Early have respiratory

alkalosis• Hyperthermia• Renal and Liver toxicity – rare• Impaired platelet function

Salicylates

• Mechanism of Action• Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation

HyperthermiaGlycogenolysis, LipolysisHyperglycemia initially then hypoglycemia

from impaired gluconeogenesis

• Inhibits Kreb’s cycle Anaerobic metabolismLactic acidosis
