The poor outcome for resuscitation from cardiopulmonary arrest in childhood is widely recognised. The European Resuscitation Council has adopted the Advanced Paediatric Life Support course (originating in the UK and now available in a number of countries) as its course for providers caring for children. This paper outlines the course content and explains its remit, which is to reduce avoidable deaths in childhood by not only resuscitation from cardiac arrest but, more effectively, by recognising and treating in a timely and effective fashion life-threatening illness and injury in infants and children. Two related courses Paediatric Life Support, a less intense course for less advanced providers, and Pre-Hospital Paediatric Life Support for immediate care providers are also described.
儿童心肺骤停复苏效果不佳已广为人知。欧洲复苏委员会采用了高级儿科生命支持课程（该课程起源于英国，目前在许多国家都有）作为照顾儿童人员的培训课程。本文概述了该课程的内容，并解释了其职责，即不仅通过心脏骤停复苏，更有效地通过及时、有效地识别和治疗婴幼儿及儿童的危及生命的疾病和损伤，来减少儿童可避免的死亡。还介绍了另外两门相关课程：儿科生命支持，这是一门针对水平较低的医护人员的强度较小的课程；以及针对现场急救人员的院前儿科生命支持课程。
