New Paediatric Life Support guidelines

New Paediatric Life Support guidelines

The Australian and New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation (ANZCOR) has released a new set of Paediatric Life Support (PLS or APLS) guidelines. These guidelines are crucial for informing Paediatric Life Support Courses to ensure the best practices are taught.

The new five (5) guideline set is condensed from the previous seven (7) paediatric guidelines and includes a new guideline (12.1) focusing on provision of paediatric basic life support (PBLS) by health professionals responsible for the care of infants and children in the pre-hospital or hospital setting. 

  1. Guideline 12.1 – Paediatric Basic Life Support (PBLS) for health professionals
  2. Guideline 12.2 – Paediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
  3. Guideline 12.3 – Management of other (non-arrest) arrhythmias in infants and children
  4. Guideline 12.4 – Paediatric resuscitation in special circumstances
  5. Guideline 12.5 – Management after Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC)
