Stabilize pulseless dysrhythmias before transport. Reassess rhythm and pulse frequently. Refer to a pediatric length based tape for appropriate drug concentrations and dosages, defibrillator energy settings, and equipment sizes. No spontaneous pulse or respiration, non-traumatic. Primary survey with basic life support and airway adjuncts.
Precordial thump is possibly helpful in a witnessed arrest, without rapid access to a defibrillator.
Consider endotracheal drug administration if IV is not accessible. See specific dysrhythmia guidelines. Drug doses listed are for adults. Refer to a pediatric length based tape for appropriate drug concentrations and dosages, defibrillator energy settings, and equipment sizes. Primary survey with basic life support and airway adjuncts.
