Fight where you find them - why kids deserve resuscitation in place just like adults
Description
Just like adults, children are most likely to survive cardiac arrest when they receive high quality CPR, effective ventilations, recognition and reversal of treatable causes of cardiovascular collapse. Immediate transport to the hospital has long been the default playbook, but transport delays and impairs our ability to provide the best care in the most time-sensitive condition we treat. We'll discuss the increasing evidence for working pediatric cardiac arrest on scene, explore challenges and possible solutions to improve survival in your community.
