title: [In-hospital pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation].
abstract: Between 0,7-3% of pediatric patients may require resuscitation during hospital stay. The physicians of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of the C.O.U. Anesthesia and Intensive Care-Baroncini developed a plan for the management of pediatric emergencies inside the Department of Pediatric Medical and Surgical Sciences. The plan consisted of: the drawing up of a PI 34-Procedure; the preparation and implementation of a training course for doctors and nurses; the purchase of 12 emergency-trolleys according to the Broselow Pediatric Resuscitation Measuring Tape and the implementation of a specific system for the emergency-call. Precise duty for anesthesiologists and intensivists is the emergency- planning and management, in order to diffuse the medical knowledge needed to assist patients requiring vital functions support. The management of the intra-hospital pediatric emergencies is strictly dependent on the training of the staff, based on a specific support algorithm, and specific equipment for the different ages.
