Pediatric CPR Guidelines and Protocols

This document provides guidance on paediatric cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. It instructs rescuers to shout for help if the child is unresponsive, open the airway, and provide high flow oxygen if the child is not breathing normally. For a child with no pulse or a pulse below 60 beats per minute with poor perfusion, it recommends 15 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths by 2 rescuers and inserting an IV/IO line. If there is still no pulse after 2 minutes of CPR, it instructs giving adrenaline (epinephrine) IV or IO and repeating every 3-5 minutes, while also treating any reversible causes.
