Cardiac arrest in children is almost always secondary to progressive respiratory failure or shock, unlike adults who primarily experience sudden arrhythmic cardiac events. Recognizing impending cardiopulmonary arrest and executing Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) protocols reverses shock before heart stoppage occurs.
The Systematic Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT)
Our emergency team evaluates every incoming child in 15 seconds across three visual parameters: 1) Appearance (tone, interactiveness), 2) Work of Breathing (retractions, stridor, flaring), and 3) Circulation to Skin (pallor, mottling, cyanosis).
Broselow Pediatric Emergency Equipment Systems
Every emergency bay features color-coded Broselow tape equipment, ensuring exact endotracheal tube sizes, defibrillator joules, and resuscitation drug volumes are pre-calculated for the child's height and weight within seconds.
Doctor's Clinical Insight: "Our emergency and intensive care doctors and nurses maintain active American Heart Association PALS certifications, providing world-class pediatric resuscitation." — Dr. D Bhanu Prakash, MD, DM
