compression question.

Hi Angela,

I believe the experts at AAP could lend you some advice on this.

You can reach out to them at lifesupport@aap.org

Thank you.

The algorithm should be the same process. If you identify that during/after initial steps the patient is apneic/gasping then PPV should be initiated while someone is assessing HR with stethoscope.   Then assessment of BS and validation of effective PPV.  Always start with PPV even if initial HR is less than 60. It should improve within 15 seconds of effective ventilations.  If it doesn't improve then intubation of the airway if feasible prior to CC starting or if not feasible then start CC/Bag and mask then at 1 minute during reassess of HR get patient intubated.  Hope this helps.  NRP is not CAB, it's old school ABC.
