The team at DFTB are extremely proud to announce our first article in a series for Emergency Medicine Australasia.
At Don’t Forget the Bubbles, a paediatric FOAM online resource, we take evidence-based medicine and put a practical spin on it. Our aim for this series is to do just that. Throughout this series we will focus on paediatric-specific topics relevant to Emergency Medicine practice. Our first article puts the spotlight on paediatric resuscitation.
With the current ILCOR guidelines1 up for revision this year, a draft update of the Paediatric section has been posted for public comment.

Here, we look at practical ways to improve our success rates when managing paediatric airways, oxygenation, and access.
