Joanne Roberts says
I struggle to learn this material even though I have been through numerous paediatric codes. In real situations it almost seems like second nature for correct response yet test anxiety always takes over.
ACLS says
The best way to overcome this is to continue to give you plenty of practice and thought to it. What truly matters is that you can perform appropriately in real pediatric codes.
Testing and classroom setting can be very stressful and create anxiety. I hope that the website will help alleviate some of this for you.
Kind regards,
Jeff

the one year old with a pulse of 55 meets criteria for initiating CPR. The answer doesn’t reflect that.

I’m not sure which question you were referring to, but in prepubescent children,
if the HR is less than 60 and the child has poor perfusion despite providing oxygenation and ventilation CPR should be initiated. Kind regards, Jeff
