The cardiac arrest is the final outcome of a serial number of conditions and illnesses. For which reason cardiopulmonary reanimation is important for the survival and aftermath that it may have on children who are in critical condition. The aim of this work it was to evaluate the theoretical and practical knowledge about pediatric resuscitation in residents from pediatric specialty in the Niño Manuel Ascencio Villarroel Hospital from Cochabamba. A descriptive observational study was applied; whose evaluation it was performed by a specialized court in cardiopulmonary reanimation pediatric through a structural test and practical exam in simulators dolls from clinical stations. In the results it can be show that there is marked deficiency in theoretical knowledge about basic cardiopulmonary reanimation area, vascular access, arrhythmias and drugs administration; but the cardiorespiratory arrest prevention showed good response in most of the participants. Regarding the degree of residence, generally the freshmen had poor response, however residents between second and third year had no significant difference. Finally it was concluded that most of the residents had not realized courses about this topic; the theoretical and practical performance was deficient with marked difference in the freshmen and senior years, but no difference between the second and third year specialty. There is much theoretical and practical deficieney in the practice of adequate ventilation management with mask and bag, arrhythmias management and heart massage.
