Análisis comparativo entre las guías de reanimación pediátrica avanzada del año 2015

Abstract

Advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation comprises a set of maneuvers, techniques and skills possessed by the rescuer where the main objective of the rescuer is to resume spontaneous breathing and circulation taking into account the C-A-B sequence (compressions, airway and good ventilation). In this work, an analysis of two cardiopulmonary resuscitation guides will be presented, with the last update in 2015, the American Heart Association (AHA) guide and the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guide, with a focus on the analysis of advanced pediatric life support. Priority will be given to the analysis of variables such as the quality of chest compressions and the use of medications during cardiorespiratory arrest in pediatric patients. The protocol of these guidelines shares too many similarities, as well as highlight and denote the differences found in them, thus bringing to the reader a critical perspective for the care of advanced pediatric cardiorespiratory.
