2025 Korean Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Part 8. Pediatric advanced life support.

The 2025 Korean pediatric advanced life support guideline update introduces clinically important revisions emphasizing airway strategy, physiologic resuscitation targets, post-cardiac arrest hemodynamics, neuroprotection, and extracorporeal support.

For patients with an advanced airway in place, age-adjusted ventilation rates are proposed to avoid hypoventilation and hyperventilation: 30/min (<1 yr), 20-30/min (1-8 yr), and 10-20/min (8-18 yr in healthcare settings).

After return of spontaneous circulation, systolic blood pressure during the first 6 hours should be maintained above the age-specific 10th percentile.
