    AbstractThe new international consensus and guidelines were published by American Heart Association in October 2010. These guidelines include many important changes in pediatric basic life support(BLS) based on many evidences. Especially in children, asphyxial cardiac arrest has been more common than cardiac arrest and only one third to one half victims can receive bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). According to new guidelines, "CAB" (Chest compressions/Circulation, Airway, and Breathing/ventilation) is recommended instead of "ABC" sequence. In addition, pediatric chain of survival is revised and the section of "Look, Listen, Feel" is deleted. These changes are recommended in order to simplify training with the hope that more pediatric victims will consequently receive bystander CPR.
