ABSTRACT
La parada cardiaca en niños tiene una elevada mortalidad. Para mejorar los resultados de la reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) es esencial la difusión de las recomendaciones internacionales de RCP y el entrenamiento de los profesionales sanitarios y la población general. Este artículo resume las recomendaciones europeas de RCP pediátrica de 2015, que están basadas en la revisión de los avances en RCP y el consenso en la ciencia y de tratamiento realizados por el Consejo Internacional de Resucitación. Las recomendaciones españolas de RCP pediátrica elaboradas por el Grupo Español de Reanimación Cardiopulmonar Pediátrica y Neonatal son una adaptación de las recomendaciones europeas y serán las utilizadas para la formación en reanimación a los profesionales sanitarios y la población general. En el artículo se destacan los principales cambios con respecto a las anteriores del 2010 en prevención de la parada cardiaca, diagnóstico de la parada cardiaca, RCP básica, RCP avanzada y cuidados posresucitación, y se presentan los algoritmos de tratamiento de RCP básica, desobstrucción de la vía aérea y RCP avanzada
Cardiac arrest has a high mortality in children. To improve the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, it is essential to disseminate the international recommendations and the training of health professionals and the general population in resuscitation. This article summarises the 2015 European Paediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation recommendations, which are based on a review of the advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and consensus in the science and treatment by the International Council on Resuscitation. The Spanish Paediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation recommendations, developed by the Spanish Group of Paediatric and Neonatal Resuscitation, are an adaptation of the European recommendations, and will be used for training health professionals and the general population in resuscitation. This article highlights the main changes from the previous 2010 recommendations on prevention of cardiac arrest, the diagnosis of cardiac arrest, basic life support, advanced life support and post-resuscitation care, as well as reviewing the algorithms of treatment of basic life support, obstruction of the airway and advanced life support
