Trends in survival after pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United States
Circulation Oct 28, 2019
Holmberg MJ, Wiberg S, Ross CE, et al. - Among hospitalized pediatric patients (≤ 18 years of age) managed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation and included in the Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry, researchers undertook this observational study to analyze temporal trends in survival, from 2000 to 2018, for pediatric patients (n = 7,433) with an in-hospital pulseless cardiac arrest and those (n = 5,751) with a nonpulseless cardiopulmonary resuscitation event. In the United States, an improvement in the survival of pediatric events needing cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been reported during this time frame. From 2000 to 2018, the survival for in-hospital pulseless cardiac arrests and for nonpulseless events has shown a 19% absolute increase and a 9% absolute increase, respectively. However, as far as survival from pulseless cardiac arrests was concerned, it seemed to have reached a plateau after 2010.
