Abstract

The year 2010 marked the 50th anniversary of modern resuscitation. In October 2010, the American Heart Association released updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care. This chapter will outline current CPR recommendations and review the evidence for major changes in pediatric basic and advanced life support with a special emphasis on children with cardiac disease.
