You are a paramedic unit composed of a medic and a basic. You are toned out for a 7 week old cardiac arrest. Arrive on scene and find the mother and farther very upset, leading you to the baby. The mother states that the baby was sleeping in his crib when she checked on him 3 hours ago. Before the call she went to check on him and he was unresponsive, not breathing and no pulse. You are 7 minutes from the hospital, and an engine is on scene for manpower.
This scenario is to see how other providers would handle this. I have not yet been on a pediatric cardiac arrest but have been discussing this with various people as to how to handle. Do you grab the baby and run out the door, doing CPR and such enroute to the hospital. Or do you work the code in the ambulance or in the house.
