🗑
ET tube size and depth   Size(mm)=(Age/4)+4, Depth(cm)=(Age/2)+12  
🗑
Blood pressure norms?   Typical(1-10yo)=90+(age x 2)mmHg, Lower limit=70+(age x 2)mmHg  
🗑
Compression/Ventilation Ratio   30:2  
🗑
Anaphylaxis Meds/Doses:   Epi (0.01mg/kg) & Benadryl (0.5-1.0mg/kg)  
🗑
Hypoglycemia Meds/Doses:   0.5-1.0g/kg IV/IO D25W(2-4mL/kg)  
🗑
Hypotension Meds/Treatment:   Oxygen, Volume, Pressors (Dopamine, Dobutamine, Epinephrine)  
🗑
Hypovolemia/Shock Treatment:   20mL/kg x 2-3 of crystalloid (treat the cause...e.g sepsis, hypoxia, acidosis)  
🗑
Bradydysrhytmia treatment:   HR <60 bpm w/ AV dissoc. -> Tx: Oxygen, Chest compressions, Epinephrine, Atropine PRN  
🗑
Greater than normal HR for age but usually < 200 bpm. Normal rhythm, no tx needed   Sinus tachycardia  
🗑
HR usually >200 bpm, Usu. well tolerated but can lead to CHF. Abnl P axis. No beat-to-beat variability.   Supraventricular Tachycardia (note: best drug- Adenosine)  
🗑
Rare and SERIOUS. HR >120 bpm, no P wave, wide WRS (>0.08s), & usu w/ abnl anatomy, hypoxemia, long QT syn, etc.   Vent. Tachycardia: If no pulse, tx like VF, Give lidocaine before defibrillation.  
🗑
Treatment for SVT and VT:   Synchronized cardioversion (0.5-1 J/kg) Note:synchronization avoids inducing VF.  
🗑
Rare in kids, no discernible P, QRS, T wave. No organized cardiac contractions   VF, treat with defibrillation (2-4 J/kg)  
🗑
First responder to man down, what to do first?   If witnessed sudden collapse, call 911 and then AED and ABCs, otherwise, do first round of ABCs first.  
🗑
Persistent SYMPTOMATIC bradycardia despite adequate ventilation, O2, CPR... what next?   Epi IV/IO (0.01mg/kg or 0.1mL/kg or 1:10k), per ETT same dose, but of 1:1k, repeat Q3-5min - for incr. vagal tone or primary AV block give 0.02mg/kg Atropine (max dose 1mg) & consider pacing  
🗑
Pediatric BLS: attached AED, rhythm not shockable, how often do you check rhythm?   each 5 cycles  
🗑
Pediatric BLS: attached AED, rhythm shockable and shock given... now what?   resume CPR immediately x 5 cycles  
🗑
