Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Successful closed-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the fundamental life-saving skill, was first reported in 1960, and the American Heart Association (AHA) has published pediatric and neonatal resuscitation guidelines since 1980. Although CPR has been widely taught to healthcare providers (HCPs) and the public, it is only recently that survival from cardiac arrest has improved. This improvement has occurred in association with an emphasis on teaching, monitoring, and improving CPR quality; widespread implementation of lay-rescuer CPR and automated external defibrillation (AED) programs; increased frequency of dispatcher-guided lay-rescuer CPR; and improvements in postcardiac arrest care, including targeted temperature management. Published studies from both out-of-hospital and in-hospital registries have provided additional information about the epidemiology, presentation, and outcome of pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) at different ages and in different settings. The AHA Guidelines for Pediatric Basic Life Support (PBLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) are now based on a continuous, structured international evidence-based review process. The reviews, sponsored by the AHA and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), are posted on ILCOR’s Web site (http://www.ilcor.org./home/), in the Systematic Evidence Evaluation and Review System.
