Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Because of the expansive differences between the anatomy and physiology
of the pediatric versus the adult patient, the management of cardiorespiratory arrest and
shock states in pediatric patients has many unique complexities. A detailed
understanding of the etiology of the most common pathologies leading to these clinical
scenarios both outside and inside the operating room enables providers to treat these
patients in a systematic and goal-directed fashion and can lead to improved outcomes.
The basics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation theory and technique, medication
management, vascular access, monitoring, and post-resuscitation care are discussed. A
special emphasis is placed on cardiac resuscitation during anesthesia care. Advanced
techniques, including temporary extracorporeal life support, are also described so that
providers will be able to recognize the clinical scenarios where these treatments may be
indicated and enlist the appropriate resources.
