Singapore Paediatric Resuscitation Guidelines 2016

Singapore Med J. 2017 Jul;58(7):373-390. doi: 10.11622/smedj.2017065.

Abstract

We present the revised 2016 Singapore paediatric resuscitation guidelines. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation's Pediatric Taskforce Consensus Statements on Science and Treatment Recommendations, as well as the updated resuscitation guidelines from the American Heart Association and European Resuscitation Council released in October 2015, were debated and discussed by the workgroup. The final recommendations for the Singapore Paediatric Resuscitation Guidelines 2016 were derived after carefully reviewing the current available evidence in the literature and balancing it with local clinical practice.

Keywords: National Paediatric Resuscitation Guidelines; paediatric advanced life support; paediatric basic life support; paediatric resuscitation.
