The document provides guidelines for paediatric advanced life support from the Resuscitation Council (UK). It outlines the steps to take for an unresponsive child, including commencing basic life support with oxygenation and ventilation, calling the resuscitation team, performing CPR at a 15:2 ratio until a defibrillator is attached to assess the rhythm. It details the procedures for shockable versus non-shockable rhythms, including defibrillation attempts and addressing reversible causes during CPR, with adrenaline administration every 3-5 minutes.
