ILCOR 2015 – paediatric summary
- Paediatric rapid response/medical emergency teams should be implemented in hospitals caring for children
- We should consider using less volume when treating patients in shock, especially if febrile without overt signs of shock – the key is to reassess frequently
- Rescue breaths should always be provided first if able
- After ROSC
- Keep normothermic or therapeutic hypothermia
- Check PaO2 and PCO2
- BP should be kept >50th centile for age with fluid and inotropes
- EEG within 7 days may help with prognostication – not enough evidence to recommend at this stage
