Article Synopsis
- This 2018 update from the American Heart Association revises pediatric advanced life support guidelines based on new evidence from the Pediatric Task Force of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation.
- The update highlights the findings of a limited literature review, which identified only one significant pediatric study on antiarrhythmic drug therapy for cardiac arrest, noting a better return of spontaneous circulation with lidocaine compared to amiodarone.
- It reaffirms the previous recommendation that both lidocaine and amiodarone can be used for treating shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia in children.
