It’s official: the 2025 ILCOR Pediatric Life Support guidelines have removed the recommendation to administer cardiac arrest dose epinephrine for symptomatic bradycardia in children. Hallelujah For years, the use of epinephrine in bradycardic pediatric patients receiving CPR has been embedded in resuscitation algorithms.

Statements: Early risk stratification is not intended as a tool for triage to withdraw life support and is not used for that purpose (90.5%, 19/21). Digestive Management Takeaway: Start enteral feeds when the patient gets to the ICU. Statements: Initiate EN as soon as possible after ICU admission (100%, 20/20).

7 TTM2 is generally interpreted as favoring normothermia for post-arrest care, but the question is whether this trial is broadly applicable to many countries with less developed community CPR involvement.

1 The primary goal of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is to optimize coronary perfusion pressure and maintain systemic perfusion in order to prevent neurologic and other end-organ damage while working to achieve ROSC. Interventions during the acute phase of treatment post return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) are therefore critical.
