RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To analyse the 2020 international and European recommendations for Paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), highlighting the most important changes and propose lines of development in Spain. METHODS: Critical analysis of the paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation recommendations of the European Resuscitation Council. RESULTS: The most relevant changes in the CPR recommendations for 2020 are in basic CPR the possibility of activating the emergency system after performing the five rescue ventilations with the mobile phone on loudspeaker, and in advanced CPR, bag ventilation between two rescuers if possible, the administration of epinephrine as soon as a vascular access is obtained, the increase in the respiratory rate in intubated children between 10 and 25 bpm according to their age and the importance of controlling the quality and coordination of CPR. In CPR training, the importance of training non-technical skills such as teamwork, leadership and communication and frequent training to reinforce and maintain competencies is highlighted. CONCLUSIONS: It is essential that training in Paediatric CPR in Spain follows the same recommendations and is carried out with a common methodology, adapted to the characteristics of health care and the needs of the students. The Spanish Paediatric and Neonatal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Group should coordinate this process, but the active participation of all paediatricians and health professionals who care for children is also essential.

RESUMEN
Objetivos: Analizar las recomendaciones internacionales y europeas de reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) pediátrica del 2020, resaltar los cambios más importantes y plantear líneas de desarrollo en España. Métodos: Análisis crítico de las recomendaciones de RCP pediátrica del European Resuscitation Council. Resultados: Los cambios más relevantes en las recomendaciones de RCP del año 2020 son: en la RCP básica, la posibilidad de activar el sistema de emergencias tras realizar las 5 ventilaciones de rescate con el teléfono móvil en altavoz, y en la RCP avanzada, la ventilación con bolsa entre 2 reanimadores si es posible, la administración de adrenalina en cuanto se canaliza un acceso vascular en los ritmos no desfibrilables, el aumento de la frecuencia respiratoria en los niños intubados entre 10 y 25rpm de acuerdo a su edad y la importancia de controlar la calidad y coordinación de la RCP. En la formación en RCP se destaca la importancia de la formación de las habilidades no técnicas como el trabajo en equipo, liderazgo y la comunicación, y el entrenamiento frecuente para reforzar y mantener las competencias. Conclusiones: Es esencial que la formación en RCP pediátrica en España siga las mismas recomendaciones y se realice con una metodología común, adaptada a las características de la atención sanitaria y las necesidades de los alumnos. El Grupo Español de Reanimación Cardiopulmonar Pediátrica y Neonatal debe coordinar este proceso, pero es esencial la participación activa de todos los pediatras y profesionales sanitarios que atienden a los niños.

OBJECTIVES: This summary of the European guidelines for pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) emphasizes the main changes and encourages health care professionals to keep their pediatric CPR knowledge and skills up to date. Basic and advanced pediatric CPR follow the same algorithm in the 2015 guidelines. The main changes affect the prevention of cardiac arrest and the use of fluids. Fluid expansion should not be used routinely in children with fever in the abuse of signs of shock because too high a volume can worsen prognosis. Rescue breaths should last around 1 second in basic CPR, making pediatric recommendations consistent with those for adults. Chest compressions should be at least as deep as one-third the anteroposterior diameter of the thorax. Most children in cardiac arrest lack a shockable rhythm, and in such cases a coordinated sequence of breaths, chest compressions, and administration of adrenalin is essential. An intraosseous canula may be the first choice for introducing fluids and medications, especially in young infants. In treating supraventricular tachycardia with cardioversion, an initial dose of 1 J/kg is currently recommended (vs the dose of 0.5 J/kg previously recommended). After spontaneous circulation is recovered, measures to control fever should be taken. The goal is to reach a normal temperature even before arrival to the hospital.
OBJETIVO: Este artículo resume las recomendaciones europeas de reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) pediátricas, destacando los principales cambios e intenta animar a los profesionales a actualizar y mantener sus conocimientos y habilidades en RCP pediátrica. Las recomendaciones europeas del año 2015 mantienen el mismo algoritmo de actuación en la RCP básica y avanzada pediátrica. Los cambios más significativos son: en la prevención de la parada cardiaca (PC), los niños con enfermedad febril sin signos de shock no deben recibir de forma rutinaria expansiones de fluidos porque un volumen excesivo puede empeorar el pronóstico. En la RCP básica se recomienda que la administración de la respiración dure alrededor de 1 segundo, para unificar las recomendaciones con las del adulto. En las compresiones torácicas el esternón debe deprimirse por lo menos un tercio del diámetro torácico anteroposterior. En el niño, la mayoría de las PC tienen ritmos no desfibrilables y en ellos la secuencia coordinada de ventilación y compresiones torácicas y administración de adrenalina es el tratamiento esencial. La vía intraósea, sobre todo en los lactantes, puede ser el acceso vascular de primera elección. En el tratamiento de la taquicardia supraventricular, cuando se realice cardioversión como tratamiento, se recomienda utilizar una dosis inicial de 1 J/kg (antes se recomendaba 0,5 J/kg). En los cuidados postresucitación tras la recuperación de la circulación espontánea, se deben tomar medidas para evitar la fiebre, teniendo como objetivo conseguir la normotermia ya desde el ámbito extrahospitalario.

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.

Se destacan las novedades en reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) pediátrica de la AHA 2015 y se repasa esquemáticamente el soporte vital básico y avanzado en los casos de paro cardiorrespiratorio en niños. Se resumen los aspectos claves y principales cambios realizados respecto de la actualización anterior (2010). Se sugiere incorporar en los hospitales un equipo de emergencias pediátrico y un equipo de rápida respuesta que brinden una atención inmediata y efectiva. Se describe un sistema de puntuación (puntaje PEWS) que permitiría identificar y predecir pacientes con riesgo de descompensación por diferentes etiologías. Se indica tratamiento inicial de la sepsis grave y shock séptico con un bolo de fluidos de 20 ml/kg en lactantes y niños con líquidos cristaloides o coloides. Se mantiene la secuencia C-A-B de las guías 2010 como orden de elección para la RCP pediátrica (aunque las recomendaciones ILCOR 2015 equiparan las secuencias A-B-C y C-A-B). La profundidad de las compresiones debe deprimir por lo menos un tercio del diámetro anteroposterior o aproximadamente 4 cm en lactantes. En los niños las compresiones se realizarán como en los adultos, por lo menos 5 a 6 cm de profundidad como límite superior; con una frecuencia de 100 a 120 CPM. En caso de reanimadores legos que no deseen o no puedan proporcionar ventilaciones, se utilizaran sólo compresiones torácicas. En los casos de FV y TV sin pulso, se realizará una descarga con desfibrilador monofásico o bifásico de energía inicial (2 a 4 J/kg) seguida de compresiones torácicas; dosis siguientes mayores o iguales a 4 J/kg son seguras y efectivas.
The new developments in pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (AHA 2015) and basic and advanced life support are reviewed schematically in cases of cardiopulmonary arrest in children. In this article we summarize the key aspects and major changes made to the previous update (2010). It is suggested that a Pediatric Emergency Team and a Rapid Response Team to provide fast and effective care should be incorporated in hospitals. A scoring system (PEWS) is described that will allow for the identification and prediction of patients at risk of decompensation due to different etiologies. Initial treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock with a fluid bolus of 20 ml/kg in infants and children with crystalloid or colloid fluids is indicated. The C-A-B sequence from the 2010 guides for pediatric CPR is maintained (although the recommendations of ILCOR 2015 attach the same importance to both "A-B-C" and "C-A-B" sequences). The depth of chest compression should be at least one third of the anteroposterior diameter, or approximately 4 cm in infants. In children and adults compressions are equivalent to depressing no more than 5 to 6 cm, with a compression frequency of 100 to 120 CPM. If lay rescuers do not want, or cannot, provide sufficient ventilation, we recommend that chest compressions should be performed. For treatment of non-pulsed VF and VT, an initial shock (2 to 4 J/kg) with mono or biphasic defibrillator should be applied, followed by chest compressions; subsequent doses of ≥ 4 J/kg are safe and effective.
