Abstract

This statement is the product of a task force meeting held June 8, 1994, in Washington, DC, in conjunction with the First International Conference on Pediatric Resuscitation, and a follow-up task force writing group meeting held September 18, 1994, in Chicago, Ill. Draft versions of the statement were circulated for comment to all members of the task force, the AHA Subcommittee on Pediatric Resuscitation, and several outside reviewers. This statement and the International Conference on Pediatric Resuscitation were cosponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association. The development of this statement was authorized by the American Academy of Pediatrics; the AHA National Subcommittees on Pediatric Resuscitation, Basic Life Support, and Advanced Cardiac Life Support, the Committee on Emergency Cardiac Care, the Science Advisory Committee; and the European Resuscitation Council.

In addition to the writing group, members of the Pediatric Utstein Task Force are Paul Anderson, M. Douglas Baker, Jane Ball, Desmond Bohn, Dena Brownstein, J. Michael Dean, Niranjan Kissoon, Bruce Klein, Patrick Malone, Karin McCloskey, James McCrory, P. Pearl O'Rourke, Mary Patterson, Charles Schleien, James Seidel, Joseph J. Tepas III, and Becky Yano.
