Abstract     Common cause of pediatric cardio-pulmonary arrest is respiratory distress . Hypoxaemia and acidosis may lead up to secondary cardiac arrest. The infants represent half of pediatric resuscitations. EMT's and nurses must be capable of early recognition of pediatric respiratory distress, because it rarely occurs suddenly. For that reasons EMT's and nurses must be educated for proper oxygen therapy, airway management, basic and advanced pediatric life support.
