Top Tips:

1) Do the basics well and use the ABCDE approach you would in the adult approach and just tweak the equipment and maneuvers to suit

2) IO access may be very valuable in children where IV access can be more tricky to gain and think about the needle sizes

3) Phone a friend for top-down cover and discuss the pathway and help available
