Description
The Pediatric Basic Life Support (BLS) Algorithm Chart is a structured educational chart designed to guide healthcare providers in the rapid assessment and resuscitation of infants and children experiencing cardiac or respiratory arrest. It presents a clear, step-by-step approach based on internationally accepted pediatric life support guidelines.
✅ Key Features
👶 Age-Specific Life Support Guidance
Provides separate considerations for infants (under 1 year) and children (1 year to puberty), ensuring correct CPR technique and assessment.
🚨 Clear Pediatric BLS Flow Algorithm
Displays the complete sequence from scene safety and responsiveness check to CPR, rescue breathing, and AED use.
❤️ High-Quality CPR Emphasis
Highlights correct:
Compression rate
Compression depth
Hand placement
Compression-to-ventilation ratios for single and two rescuers
⚡ Safe AED Use in Pediatrics
Explains appropriate AED use with pediatric pads or attenuators and outlines steps when pediatric pads are unavailable.
🎓 Ideal for Nursing & Emergency Training
Suitable for nursing students, medical students, paramedics, emergency responders, and pediatric care providers.
📘 Guideline-Based Content
Based on resuscitation standards recommended by the American Heart Association, ensuring clinical accuracy and relevance.
🧾 Pediatric BLS Algorithm – Core Steps
1️⃣ Initial Assessment
Ensure scene safety
Check responsiveness
Shout for help
Activate emergency response system
Get AED
2️⃣ Check Breathing & Pulse
Check breathing and pulse simultaneously (≤10 seconds)
If no breathing and no pulse OR pulse <60/min with signs of poor perfusion → Start CPR
3️⃣ High-Quality CPR
Compression Rate: 100–120/min
Compression Depth:
Infant: ~4 cm (1.5 inches)
Child: ~5 cm (2 inches)
Compression–Ventilation Ratio:
Single rescuer: 30:2
Two rescuers: 15:2
4️⃣ AED / Defibrillation
Use pediatric AED pads if available
Follow AED prompts
Resume CPR immediately after shock or analysis
5️⃣ Advanced Care & Post-Resuscitation
Maintain airway and oxygenation
Monitor vital signs
Prepare for advanced life support and hospital transfer
