abstract: Early deiibrillation will become a standard of basic life support under proposals by the American Heart Association. The recommendations, agreed at the National Conference on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiac Care in Dallas also include a proposal to give high-dose adrenaline to paediatric patients, not adults. Recent research has revealed no statistical difference in the hospital admission and discharge rates of adults given the standard dose (0.01 mg/kg) and those given a high dose (0.1 mg/kg to 0.2 mg/kg).
