Du Pont-Thibodeau G, et al. - All consecutive patients (<18 years old) admitted to the pediatric critical care unit (PICU) after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who received ≥ 1 minute of chest compressions and had return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) for ≥ 20 minutes were retrospectively studied in order to determine their timing and modes of death.

Researchers noted that the outcome of a large proportion of patients after OHCA was influenced by neurologic prognostication.
