Article Synopsis
- Between 0.25% and 3% of admissions to specialized care units like NICU, PICU, and PCICU require CPR, with most events occurring in infants under 1 year old, highlighting the need for optimized CPR approaches for this age group.
- Current resuscitation practices differ for newborns (following neonatal guidelines) and older infants and children (following pediatric guidelines), yet there are no clear recommendations for transitioning between these two protocols.
- The report reviews current guidelines, explores their application in hospitalized infants, and points out the absence of strong data to definitively dictate when to switch from neonatal to pediatric guidelines, leaving the choice to individual healthcare teams and institutions.
