PALS by the numbers
Compression rate (bpm) for a pediatric patient
100-120 BPM
Length-based resuscitation tape (aka Broselow tape)
Top drawer of pediatric crash cart?
Infant BVM
Hanging off crash cart
Tell me: CO2 color change detector
When ETT is appropriately in the trachea, when a breath is given to the patient, upon expiration the detector will turn gold, indicating CO2 presence. "Gold is good"
Appropriate compression depth for a pediatric patient?
>= 1/3 AP diameter of the chest
OPA for a 22kg patient
Blue (19-22kg) drawer. (White 70mm OPA)
3-way-stopcock
Top drawer (pink/red) "syringe and needle pack"
Tell me: Magill forceps
Foreign body retrieval, specifically tracheal
The compression/ventilation ratio in a pediatric patient with NO advanced airway
15:2
Cuffed ETT for 12kg patient
Yellow drawer (12-14kg). Separately found outside intubation module.
LMA (Supraglottic airway) for 6kg patient
Pink/Red (6-9kg) drawer. Size 1.5
Show me: Pull up the correct cardiac arrest dose of epinephrine (0.1mg/mL) for a 17kg patient
Can find on tape, or 0.01mg/kg = 0.17mg = 1.7mL. Assemble code epi, use transfer pin to transfer 1.7mL into 3mL syringe
Frequency of ventilations during a cardiac arrest when an advanced airway (ETT or SGA) is established
Every 2-3 seconds (20-30 breaths/min)
Pediatric Magill forceps
The grey drawer
NG/OG tube for a 36kg patient
Show me: How to determine the correct IO needle size on a patient
Insert IO needle manually until met by bone. 5mm black line should remain visible. If not, IO needle is too short.
First shock defib dose
2 J/kg
IO drill, needles, and stablizers
Grey drawer
CO2 color change detector
Grey drawer
Show me: Administer an IVF bolus for a 5kg patient using the push-pull method
Demo push pull method with 250mL NS bag, 20-50mL syringe, 3-way-stopcock and IV tubing
