The objective of postresuscitation management is to
avoid common causes of both early and late morbidity
and mortality in Pediatrics. Early Mortality can be
caused by hemodynamic instability and respiratory
problems. Later morbidity and mortality can result
from multi-organ failure or brain injury. After
attending this 2 hour session, you should be able to
explain that postresuscitation management applies to
care after cardiac arrest care following
resuscitation from severe shock or respiratory
failure.
