1 ACP Recertification Pre-Course: Pediatric Manual Defibrillation

2 Pediatric Defibrillation - Overview Objectives Overview of Pediatric Defibrillation Etiology and Pathophysiology of Pediatric Defibrillation ECG Review

3 Objectives Review & Scenarios: Given pre-course reading and Webinars, small group discussion of various case studies, a manikin, and medical equipment, the paramedic will be able to: Explain the etiology and pathophysiology of cardiac arrest in pediatric patients, Identify the four cardiac arrest rhythms V-fib, V-tach, PEA, and asystole, Summarize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Lidocaine & Epinephrine, Describe and demonstrate the proper application of the Cardiac Arrest General Protocol (Non-traumatic) Adult and Pediatric on pediatric patients, using either adult settings, attenuator cables, or manual defibrillation (as appropriate to each service), As evaluated by the facilitator during case presentations, skill stations, oral scenarios, and a written evaluation.

4 Pediatric Defibrillation Overview Frequency of Pediatric VSA Happens more than you think! Initial rhythm 20% in VF We can treat! Success is possible Time to shock Appropriate energy delivered

5 Pediatric Defibrillation Etiology Non-Cardiac Trauma Pre-Existing Disease Pulmonary Most Commonly Boys < 4 years < 1 year

6 Pediatric Defib: ECG Interpretation Cardiac Arrest Rhythms VF Pulseless VT PEA Asystole

7 Pediatric Defib: ECG Interpretation Ventricular Fibrillation Fast, Irregular, Wide SHOCK!

8 Pediatric Defib: ECG Interpretation Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia Fast, Regular, Wide SHOCK!

9 Pediatric Defib: ECG Interpretation PEA PULSE CHECK! Possible causes??

10 Pediatric Defib: ECG Interpretation Asystole No electrical activity PULSE CHECK!

11 Pediatric Defib: ECG Interpretation Shockable Rhythms? Non-Shockable Rhythms?

12 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

13 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

14 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

15 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

16 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

17 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

18 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

19 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

20 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

21 Rhythm? Shockable OR Non-Shockable?

22 Pharmacology Patient > 30 days and < 12 years and < 40 kg Epinephrine Alpha and Beta receptor agonist Ionotropy & Chronotropy Vasoconstriction Lidocaine Interferes with ventricular automaticity Decreases duration of action potential

23 Pediatric Manual Defib Key Points! Transport patients <16 years after 1 Non- Shockable Interpretation Witnessed arrest Analyze Immediately!
