Out of Hospital and Initial Measures
• Remain calm• Knee to chest position• Older children can be side lying or squat• If lasts longer than 1 minute then bring to emergency
room

In Hospital Measures
• Start with simple measures like knee chest position• Pressure on femoral pulses can also be tried• Call for help and do not leave room

Oxygen
• Next step after simple measures• Pulmonary vasodilator• Can also put on full flow using a mask
