Review Practice Guideline Guideline
Part 9: pediatric basic life support. European Resuscitation Council.
The epidemiology and outcome of pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest and the priorities, techniques, and sequence of pediatric resuscitation assessments and intervention differ from those of adults. Current guidelines have been updated after extensive multinational evidence-based review and discussion over several years. ⋯ Differences are currently based on local and regional preferences, training networks, and customs rather than scientific controversy. Unresolved issues with potential for future universal application are highlighted.
