Abstract
OBJECTIVES Data to support epinephrine dosing intervals during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are conflicting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between epinephrine dosing intervals and outcomes. We hypothesized that dosing intervals less than 3 minutes would be associated with improved neurologic survival compared with greater than or equal to 3 minutes. DESIGN This study is a secondary analysis of The ICU-RESUScitation Project (NCT028374497), a multicenter trial of a quality improvement bundle of physiology-directed CPR training and post-cardiac arrest debriefing. SETTING Eighteen PICUs and pediatric cardiac ICUs in the United States. PATIENTS Subjects were 18 years young or younger and 37 weeks old or older corrected gestational age who had an index cardiac arrest. Patients who received less than two doses of epinephrine, received extracorporeal CPR, or had dosing intervals greater than 8 minutes were excluded. INTERVENTIONS The primary exposure was an epinephrine dosing interval of less than 3 vs. greater than or equal to 3 minutes. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was survival to discharge with a favorable neurologic outcome defined as a Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score of 1-2 or no change from baseline. Regression models evaluated the association between dosing intervals and: 1) survival outcomes and 2) CPR duration. Among 382 patients meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, median age was 0.9 years (interquartile range 0.3-7.6 yr) and 45% were female. After adjustment for confounders, dosing intervals less than 3 minutes were not associated with survival with favorable neurologic outcome (adjusted relative risk [aRR], 1.10; 95% CI, 0.84-1.46; p = 0.48) but were associated with improved sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) (aRR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.07-1.37; p < 0.01) and shorter CPR duration (adjusted effect estimate, -9.5 min; 95% CI, -14.4 to -4.84 min; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In patients receiving at least two doses of epinephrine, dosing intervals less than 3 minutes were not associated with neurologic outcome but were associated with sustained ROSC and shorter CPR duration.

Abstract
Hypoxia-ischaemia (HI) can result in structural brain abnormalities, which in turn can lead to behavioural deficits in various cognitive and motor domains, in both adult and paediatric populations. Cardiorespiratory arrest (CA) is a major cause of hypoxia-ischaemia in adults, but it is relatively rare in infants and children. While the effects of adult CA on brain and cognition have been widely studied, to date, there are no studies examining the neurodevelopmental outcome of children who suffered CA early in life. Here, we studied the long-term outcome of 28 children who suffered early CA (i.e., before age 16). They were compared to a group of control participants (n = 28) matched for age, sex and socio-economic status. The patient group had impairments in the domains of memory, language and academic attainment (measured using standardised tests). Individual scores within the impaired range were most commonly found within the memory domain (79%), followed by academic attainment (50%), and language (36%). The patient group also had reduced whole brain grey matter volume, and reduced volume and fractional anisotropy of the white matter. In addition, lower performance on memory tests was correlated with bilaterally reduced volume of the hippocampi, thalami, and striatum, while lower attainment scores were correlated with bilateral reduction of fractional anisotropy in the superior cerebellar peduncle, the main output tract of the cerebellum. We conclude that patients who suffered early CA are at risk of developing specific cognitive deficits associated with structural brain abnormalities. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Our data shed light on the long-term outcome and associated neural mechanisms after paediatric hypoxia-ischaemia as a result of cardiorespiratory arrest. Patients had impaired scores on memory, language and academic attainment. Memory impairments were associated with smaller hippocampi, thalami, and striatum. Lower academic attainment correlated with reduced fractional anisotropy of the superior cerebellar peduncle.

Abstract
Children with cardiac disease are at significantly higher risk for in-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) compared with those admitted without cardiac disease. CA occurs in 2-6% of patients admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) and 4-6% of children admitted to the pediatric cardiac-ICU. Treatment of in-hospital CA with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) results in return of spontaneous circulation in 43-64% of patients and survival rate that varies from 20 to 51%. We aimed to investigate the change in functional status of survivors who experienced an in-hospital CA using the functional status scale (FSS) in our heart center by conducting a retrospective study of all patients 0-18 years who experienced CA between June 2015 and December 2020 in a free-standing university-affiliated quaternary children's hospital. Of the 165 CA patients, 61% (n = 100) survived to hospital discharge. The non-survivors had longer length from admission to CA, higher serum lactate levels peri-CA, and received higher number of epinephrine doses. Using FSS, of the survivors, 26% developed new morbidity, and 9% developed unfavorable outcomes. There was an association of unfavorable outcomes with longer CICU-LOS and number of epinephrine doses given. Sixty-one-percent of CA patients survived to hospital discharge. Of the survivors, 26% developed new morbidity and 91% had favorable outcomes. Future multicenter studies are needed to help better identify modifiable risk factors for development of poor outcomes and help improve outcomes of this fragile patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe epinephrine dosing distribution using time-stamped data and assess the impact of dosing strategy on survival after ECPR in children. METHODS This was a retrospective study at five pediatric hospitals of children <18 years with an in-hospital ECPR event. Mean number of epinephrine doses was calculated for each 10-minute CPR interval and compared between survivors and non-survivors. Patients were also divided by dosing strategy into a frequent epinephrine group (dosing interval of ≤5 min/dose throughout the first 30 minutes of the event), and a limited epinephrine group (dosing interval of ≤5 min/dose for the first 10 minutes then >5 min/dose for the time between 10 and 30 minutes). RESULTS A total of 191 patients were included. Epinephrine was not evenly distributed throughout ECPR, with 66% of doses being given during the first half of the event. Mean number of epinephrine doses was similar between survivors and non-survivors the first 10 minutes (2.7 doses). After 10 minutes, survivors received fewer doses than non-survivors during each subsequent 10-minute interval. Adjusted survival was not different between strategy groups [OR of survival for frequent epinephrine strategy: 0.78 (95% CI 0.36-1.69), p = 0.53]. CONCLUSIONS Survivors received fewer doses than non-survivors after the first 10 minutes of CPR and although there was no statistical difference in survival based on dosing strategy, the findings of this study question the conventional approach to EPCR analysis that assumes dosing is evenly distributed.

Aim In-hospital paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) survival has been improving in high-income countries. This study aimed to analyse factors associated with survival and neurological outcome after paediatric CPR in a middle-income country. Methods This observational study of in-hospital cardiac arrest using Utstein-style registry included patients <18 years old submitted to CPR between 2015 and 2020, at a high-complexity hospital. Outcomes were survival and neurological status assessed using Paediatric Cerebral Performance Categories score at prearrest, discharge, and after 180 days. Results Of 323 patients who underwent CPR, 108 (33.4%) survived to discharge and 93 (28.8%) after 180 days. In multivariable analysis, lower survival at discharge was associated with liver disease (OR 0.060, CI 0.007-0.510, p = 0.010); vasoactive drug infusion before cardiac arrest (OR 0.145, CI 0.065-0.325, p < 0.001); shock as the immediate cause (OR 0.183, CI 0.069-0.486, p = 0.001); resuscitation > 30 min (OR 0.070, CI 0.014-0.344, p = 0.001); and bicarbonate administration during CPR (OR 0.318, CI 0.130-0.780, p = 0.01). The same factors remained associated with lower survival after 180 days. Neurological outcome was analysed in the 93 survivors after 180 days following CPR. Prearrest neurological dysfunction was observed in 31.4%, and neurological prognosis was favourable in 79.7% at discharge and similar after 180 days. Conclusion In-hospital paediatric cardiac arrest patients with complex chronic conditions had lower survival associated with liver disease, shock as cause of cardiac arrest, vasoactive drug infusion before cardiac arrest, bicarbonate administration during CPR, and prolonged resuscitation. Most survivors had favourable neurological outcome.

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest: An updated systematic review. Resuscitation 2023; 182:109665. [PMID: 36521684 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2022.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 29.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide an updated systematic review on the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) compared with manual or mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation during cardiac arrest. METHODS This was an update of a systematic review published in 2018. OVID Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for randomized trials and observational studies between January 1, 2018, and June 21, 2022. The population included adults and children with out-of-hospital or in-hospital cardiac arrest. Two investigators reviewed studies for relevance, extracted data, and assessed bias. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE. RESULTS The search identified 3 trials, 27 observational studies, and 6 cost-effectiveness studies. All trials included adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and were terminated before enrolling the intended number of subjects. One trial found a benefit of ECPR in survival and favorable neurological status, whereas two trials found no statistically significant differences in outcomes. There were 23 observational studies in adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest or in combination with in-hospital cardiac arrest, and 4 observational studies in children with in-hospital cardiac arrest. Results of individual studies were inconsistent, although many studies favored ECPR. The risk of bias was intermediate for trials and critical for observational studies. The certainty of evidence was very low to low. Study heterogeneity precluded meta-analyses. The cost-effectiveness varied depending on the setting and the analysis assumptions. CONCLUSIONS Recent randomized trials suggest potential benefit of ECPR, but the certainty of evidence remains low. It is unclear which patients might benefit from ECPR.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether there are differences in outcome for pediatric patients when extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is initiated on-hours compared with off-hours. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Ten-year period (2009-2018) in United States centers, from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry. PATIENTS Pediatric (>30 d and <18 yr old) patients undergoing venovenous and venoarterial ECLS. INTERVENTIONS The primary predictor was on versus off-hours cannulation. On-hours were defined as 0700-1859 from Monday to Friday. Off-hours were defined as 1900-0659 from Monday to Thursday or 1900 Friday to 0659 Monday or any time during a United States national holiday. The primary outcome was inhospital mortality. The secondary outcomes were complications related to ECLS and length of hospital stay. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS In a cohort of 9,400 patients, 4,331 (46.1%) were cannulated on-hours and 5,069 (53.9%) off-hours. In the off-hours group, 2,220/5,069 patients died (44.0%) versus 1,894/4,331 (44.1%) in the on-hours group (p = 0.93). Hemorrhagic complications were lower in the off-hours group versus the on-hours group (hemorrhagic 18.4% vs 21.0%; p = 0.002). After adjusting for patient complexity and other confounders, there were no differences between the groups in mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.95; 95% CI, 0.85-1.07; p = 0.41) or any complications (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.89-1.17; p = 0.75). CONCLUSIONS Survival and complication rates are similar for pediatric patients when ECLS is initiated on-hours compared with off-hours. This finding suggests that, in aggregate, the current pediatric ECLS infrastructure in the United States provides adequate capabilities for the initiation of ECLS across all hours of the day.

Epidemiology of Cardiopulmonary Arrest and Outcome of Resuscitation in PICU Across China: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:811819.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemiology and the effectiveness of resuscitation from cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) among critically ill children and adolescents during pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) stay across China. METHODS A prospective multicenter study was conducted in 11 PICUs in tertiary hospitals. Consecutively hospitalized critically ill children, from 29-day old to 18-year old, who had suffered from CPA and required cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the PICU were enrolled (December 2017-October 2018). Data were collected and analyzed using the "in-hospital Utstein style." Neurological outcome was assessed with the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) scale among children who had survived. Factors associated with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival at discharge were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Among 11,599 admissions to PICU, 372 children (3.2%) had CPA during their stay; 281 (75.5%) received CPR, and 91 (24.5%) did not (due to an order of "Do Not Resuscitate" requested by their guardians). Cardiopulmonary disease was the most common reason for CPA (28.1% respiratory and 19.6% circulatory). The most frequent initial dysrhythmia was bradycardia (79%). In total, 170 (60.3%) of the total children had an ROSC, 91 had (37.4%) survived till hospital discharge, 28 (11.5%) had survived 6 months, and 19 (7.8%) had survived for 1 year after discharge. Among the 91 children who were viable at discharge, 47.2% (43/91) received a good PCPC score (1-3). The regression analysis results revealed that the duration of CPR and the dose of epinephrine were significantly associated with ROSC, while the duration of CPR, number of CPR attempts, ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF), and the dose of epinephrine were significantly associated with survival at discharge. CONCLUSION The prevalence of CPA in critically ill children and adolescents is relatively high in China. The duration of CPR and the dose of epinephrine are associated with ROSC. The long-term prognosis of children who had survived after CPR needs further improvement.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest is a rare event in children and adolescents. Those who survive may experience a range of outcomes, from good functional recovery to severe and permanent disability. Many children experience long-term cognitive impairment, including deficits in attention, language, memory, and executive functioning. Deficits in adaptive behavior, such as motor functioning, communication, and daily living skills, have also been reported. These children have a wide range of neurological outcomes, with some experiencing specific deficits such as aphasia, apraxia, and sensorimotor deficits. Some children may experience emotional and psychological difficulties, although many do not, and more research is needed in this area. The burden of pediatric cardiac arrest on the child's family and caregivers can be substantial. This narrative review summarizes current research regarding the cognitive and psychological outcomes following pediatric cardiac arrest, identifies areas for future research, and discusses the needs of these children for rehabilitation services and academic accommodations.

Abstract
AIMS Assessment of brain injury severity early after cardiac arrest (CA) may guide therapeutic interventions and help clinicians counsel families regarding neurologic prognosis. We aimed to determine whether adding EEG features to predictive models including clinical variables and examination signs increased the accuracy of short-term neurobehavioral outcome prediction. METHODS This was a prospective, observational, single-center study of consecutive infants and children resuscitated from CA. Standardized EEG scoring was performed by an electroencephalographer for the initial EEG timepoint after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and each 12-h segment from the time of ROSC up to 48 h. EEG Background Category was scored as: (1) normal; (2) slow-disorganized; (3) discontinuous or burst-suppression; or (4) attenuated-featureless. The primary outcome was neurobehavioral outcome at discharge from the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. To develop the final predictive model, we compared areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC) from models with varying combinations of Demographic/Arrest Variables, Examination Signs, and EEG Features. RESULTS We evaluated 89 infants and children. Initial EEG Background Category was normal in 9 subjects (10%), slow-disorganized in 44 (49%), discontinuous or burst suppression in 22 (25%), and attenuated-featureless in 14 (16%). The final model included Demographic/Arrest Variables (witnessed status, doses of epinephrine, initial lactate after ROSC) and EEG Background Category which achieved AUROC of 0.9 for unfavorable neurobehavioral outcome and 0.83 for mortality. CONCLUSIONS The addition of standardized EEG Background Categories to readily available CA variables significantly improved early stratification of brain injury severity after pediatric CA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current American Heart Association Pediatric Life Support (PLS) guidelines do not recommend the routine use of sodium bicarbonate (SB) during cardiac arrest in pediatric patients. However, SB administration during pediatric resuscitation is still common in clinical practice. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of SB on mortality and neurological outcomes in pediatric patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to January 2021. We included studies of pediatric patients that had two treatment arms (treated with SB or not treated with SB) during in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE system. RESULTS We included 7 observational studies with a total of 4877 pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest patients. Meta-analysis showed that SB administration during pediatric cardiac resuscitation was associated with a significantly decreased rate of survival to hospital discharge (odds ratio [OR], 0.40; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.25-0.63, p value = 0.0003). There were insufficient studies for 24-h survival and neurologic outcomes analysis. The subgroup analysis showed a significantly decreased rate of survival to hospital discharge in both the "before 2010" subgroup (OR 0.47; 95% CI 0.30-0.73; p value = 0.006) and the "after 2010" subgroup (OR 0.46; 95% CI 0.25-0.87; p value = 0.02). The certainty of evidence ranged from very low to low. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis of non-randomized studies supported current PLS guideline that routine administration of SB is not recommended in pediatric cardiac arrest except in special resuscitation situations. TRIAL REGISTRATION The protocol was registered with PROSPERO on 8 August 2020 (registration number: CRD42020197837).

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) occurs frequently and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The objective of this narrative review is to summarize the current knowledge and recommendations regarding pediatric IHCA and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). OBSERVATIONS Each year, more than 15 000 children receive CPR for cardiac arrest during hospitalization in the United States. As many as 80% to 90% survive the event, but most patients do not survive to hospital discharge. Most IHCAs occur in intensive care units and other monitored settings and are associated with respiratory failure or shock. Bradycardia with poor perfusion is the initial rhythm in half of CPR events, and only about 10% of events have an initial shockable rhythm. Pre-cardiac arrest systems focus on identifying at-risk patients and ensuring that they are in monitored settings. Important components of CPR include high-quality chest compressions, timely defibrillation when indicated, appropriate ventilation and airway management, administration of epinephrine to increase coronary perfusion pressure, and treatment of the underlying cause of cardiac arrest. Extracorporeal CPR and measurement of physiological parameters are evolving areas in improving outcomes. Structured post-cardiac arrest care focused on targeted temperature management, optimization of hemodynamics, and careful intensive care unit management is associated with improved survival and neurological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Pediatric IHCA occurs frequently and has a high mortality rate. Early identification of risk, prevention, delivery of high-quality CPR, and post-cardiac arrest care can maximize the chances of achieving favorable outcomes. More research in this field is warranted.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the optimal timing and doses of epinephrine for Infants and children suffering in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS We searched Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL) for human randomized clinical trials and observational studies including comparative cohorts. Two investigators reviewed relevance of studies, extracted the data, conducted meta-analyses and assessed the risk of bias using the GRADE and CLARITY frameworks. Authors of the eligible studies were contacted to obtain additional data. Critically important outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation, survival to hospital discharge and survival with good neurological outcome. RESULTS We identified 7 observational studies suitable for meta-analysis and no randomized clinical trials. The overall certainty of evidence was very low. For the critically important outcomes, the earlier administration of epinephrine was favorable for both in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Because of a limited number of eligible studies and the presence of severe confounding factors, we could not determine the optimal interval of epinephrine administration. CONCLUSIONS Earlier administration of the first epinephrine dose could be more favorable in non-shockable pediatric cardiac arrest. The optimal interval for epinephrine administration remains unclear.

Abstract
This 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR) for pediatric life support is based on the most extensive evidence evaluation ever performed by the Pediatric Life Support Task Force. Three types of evidence evaluation were used in this review: systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and evidence updates. Per agreement with the evidence evaluation recommendations of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, only systematic reviews could result in a new or revised treatment recommendation. Systematic reviews performed for this 2020 CoSTR for pediatric life support included the topics of sequencing of airway-breaths-compressions versus compressions-airway-breaths in the delivery of pediatric basic life support, the initial timing and dose intervals for epinephrine administration during resuscitation, and the targets for oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in pediatric patients after return of spontaneous circulation. The most controversial topics included the initial timing and dose intervals of epinephrine administration (new treatment recommendations were made) and the administration of fluid for infants and children with septic shock (this latter topic was evaluated by evidence update). All evidence reviews identified the paucity of pediatric data and the need for more research involving resuscitation of infants and children.

Abstract
• Quality and outcome of pediatric resuscitation often does not achieve recommended goals. • Quality improvement initiatives with the aim of better survival rates and decreased morbidity of resuscitated children are urgently needed. • These initiatives should include an action framework for a comprehensive, fundamental, and interprofessional reorientation of clinical and organizational structures concerning resuscitation and post-resuscitation care of children. • The authors of this DACH position statement suggest the implementation of 10 evidence-based actions (for out-of-hospital and in-house cardiac arrests) that should improve survival rates and decrease morbidity of resuscitated children with better neurological outcome and quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aims to summarize the body of available literature on pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in order to delineate current utilization, practices, and outcomes, while highlighting gaps in current knowledge. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases. STUDY SELECTION We searched for peer-reviewed original research publications on pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (patients < 18 yr old) and were inclusive of all publication years. DATA EXTRACTION Our systematic review used the structured Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology. Our initial literature search was performed on February 11, 2019, with an updated search performed on August 28, 2019. Three physician reviewers independently assessed the retrieved studies to determine inclusion in the systematic review synthesis. Using selected search terms, a total of 4,095 publications were retrieved, of which 96 were included in the final synthesis. Risk of bias in included studies was assessed using the Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions-I tool. DATA SYNTHESIS There were no randomized controlled trials of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation use in pediatrics. A vast majority of pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation publications were single-center retrospective studies reporting outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Most pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation use in published literature is in cardiac patients. Survival to hospital discharge after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest ranged from 8% to 80% in included studies, and there was an association with improved outcomes in cardiac patients. Thirty-one studies reported neurologic outcomes after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, of which only six were prospective follow-up studies. We summarize the available literature on: determination of candidacy, timing of activation of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, staffing/logistics, cannulation strategies, outcomes, and the use of simulation for training. CONCLUSIONS This review highlights gaps in our understanding of best practices for pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We summarize current studies available and provide a framework for the development of future studies.

Abstract
AIM To report the patient characteristics and clinical outcome of paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United Kingdom (UK) National Cardiac Arrest Audit (NCAA) database. METHODS Analysis of all recorded paediatric cardiac arrests in the NCAA dataset over a seven-year period ending on 31 December 2018, within acute children's hospitals (including standalone paediatric hospitals and hospitals with tertiary paediatric services) and acute general hospitals participating in NCAA. In this period 1456 patients (with 1580 events), 1 month to 16 years of age, received chest compressions and/or defibrillation and were attended by a hospital-based resuscitation team in response to an emergency call. The main outcome measure was survival to discharge. RESULTS For this cohort of paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest patients the overall rates of sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) were 69.1% with unadjusted survival to hospital discharge of 54.2%. The presenting rhythm was shockable in 4.3% of events and non-shockable in 82.1% (remainder undetermined); rates of survival to hospital discharge associated with these rhythms were 63.9% and 51.7%. A difference in outcomes was observed between Children's hospitals and acute general hospitals with ROSC rates of 79.1% and 55.5% respectively and survival to hospital discharge rates of 57.7% and 49.3% respectively. CONCLUSIONS These first results from the NCAA database describing the outcome of paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest in UK hospitals will serve as a benchmark from which to assess the future impact of changes in service delivery, organisation and treatment for in-hospital cardiac arrest in young people. Outcomes for specialist paediatric centres should be studied further as higher rates of ROSC and survival to hospital discharge were observed.

Abstract
Early after pediatric cardiac arrest, families and care providers struggle with the uncertainty of long-term neurological prognosis. Cardiac arrest characteristics such as location, intra-arrest factors, and postarrest events have been associated with outcome. We paid particular attention to postarrest modalities that have been shown to predict neurological outcome. These modalities include neurological examination, somatosensory evoked potentials, electroencephalography, and neuroimaging. There is no one modality that accurately predicts neurological prognosis. Thus, a multimodal approach should be undertaken by both neurologists and intensivists to present a clear and consistent message to families. Methods used for the prediction of long-term neurological prognosis need to be specific enough to identify indivuals with a poor outcome. We review the evidence evaluating children with coma, each with various etiologies of cardiac arrest, outcome measures, and timing of follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the main epidemiological aspects of prehospital and hospital pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the impact of scientific evidence on survival. SOURCE OF DATA This was a narrative review of the literature published at PubMed/MEDLINE until January 2019 including original and review articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, annals of congresses, and manual search of selected articles. SYNTHESIS OF DATA The prehospital and hospital settings have different characteristics and prognoses. Pediatric prehospital cardiopulmonary arrest has a three-fold lower survival rate than cardiopulmonary arrest in the hospital setting, occurring mostly at home and in children under 1year. Higher survival appears to be associated with age progression, shockable rhythm, emergency medical care, use of automatic external defibrillator, high-quality early life support, telephone dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and is strongly associated with witnessed cardiopulmonary arrest. In the hospital setting, a higher incidence was observed in children under 1year of age, and mortality increased with age. Higher survival was observed with shorter cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration, occurrence on weekdays and during daytime, initial shockable rhythm, and previous monitoring. Despite the poor prognosis of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation, an increase in survival has been observed in recent years, with good neurological prognosis in the hospital setting. CONCLUSIONS A great progress in the science of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been observed, especially in developed countries. The recognition of the epidemiological aspects that influence cardiopulmonary resuscitation survival may direct efforts towards more effective actions; thus, studies in emerging and less favored countries remains a priority regarding the knowledge of local factors.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality during intra-hospital transport to facilitate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-CPR (ECPR). We compared chest compression (CC) rate, depth, and fraction (CCF) between the pre-transport and intra-transport periods. METHODS Observational study of children <18 years with either in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who underwent transport between two care locations within the hospital for ECPR and who had CPR mechanics data available. Descriptive patient and arrest characteristics were summarized. The primary analysis compared pre- to intra-transport CC rate, depth, and fraction. A secondary analysis compared the proportion of pre- versus intra-transport 60-s epochs meeting guideline recommendations for rate (100-120/min), depth (≥4 cm for infants; ≥5 cm for children ≥1 year), and CCF (≥0.80). RESULTS Seven patients (four IHCA; three witnessed OHCA) met eligibility criteria. Six (86%) patients survived the event and two (28%) survived to hospital discharge. Median transport CPR duration was 7 [IQR 5.5, 8.5] minutes. There were no differences in pre- vs. intra-transport CC rate (115 [113, 118] vs. 118 [114, 127] CCs/minute; p = 0.18), depth (3.2 [2.7, 4.4] vs. 3.6 [2.5, 4.6] cm; p = 0.50), or CCF (0.89 [0.82, 0.90] vs. 0.92 [0.79, 0.97]; p = 0.31). Equivalent proportions of 60-s CPR epochs met guideline recommendations between pre- and intra-transport (rate: 66% vs. 57% [p = 0.22]; depth: 14% vs. 19% [p = 0.39]; CCF: 80% vs. 75% [p = 0.43]). CONCLUSIONS Pediatric CPR quality was maintained during intra-hospital patient transport, suggesting that it is reasonable for ECPR systems to incorporate patient transport to facilitate ECMO cannulation.

Prognostic value of the delta neutrophil index in pediatric cardiac arrest. Sci Rep 2020; 10:3497. [PMID: 32103031 PMCID: PMC7044231 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-60126-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2019] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The delta neutrophil index (DNI), which reflects the ratio of circulating immature neutrophils, has been reported to be highly predictive of mortality in systemic inflammation. We investigated the prognostic significance of DNI value for early mortality and neurologic outcomes after pediatric cardiac arrest (CA). We retrospectively analyzed the data of eligible patients (<19 years in age). Among 85 patients, 55 subjects (64.7%) survived and 36 (42.4%) showed good outcomes at 30 days after CA. Cox regression analysis revealed that the DNI values immediately after the return of spontaneous circulation, at 24 hours and 48 hours after CA, were related to an increased risk for death within 30 days after CA (P < 0.001). A DNI value of higher than 3.3% at 24 hours could significantly predict both 30-day mortality (hazard ratio: 11.8; P < 0.001) and neurologic outcomes (odds ratio: 8.04; P = 0.003). The C statistic for multivariable prediction models for 30-day mortality (incorporating DNI at 24 hours, compression time, and serum sodium level) was 0.799, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of DNI at 24 hours for poor neurologic outcome was 0.871. Higher DNI was independently associated with 30-day mortality and poor neurologic outcomes after pediatric CA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe neurobehavioral outcomes and investigate factors associated with survival and survival with good neurobehavioral outcome 1 year after in-hospital cardiac arrest for children who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. DESIGN Secondary analysis of the Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest In-Hospital trial. SETTING Thirty-seven PICUs in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. PATIENTS Children (n = 147) resuscitated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation following in-hospital cardiac arrest. INTERVENTIONS Neurobehavioral status was assessed using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, at prearrest baseline and 12 months postarrest. Norms for Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, are 100 (mean) ± 15 (SD). Higher scores indicate better functioning. Outcomes included 12-month survival, 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, decreased by less than or equal to 15 points from baseline, and 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, greater than or equal to 70. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 147 children receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 125 (85.0%) had a preexisting cardiac condition, 75 (51.0%) were postcardiac surgery, and 84 (57.1%) were less than 1 year old. Duration of chest compressions was greater than 30 minutes for 114 (77.5%). Sixty-one (41.5%) survived to 12 months, 32 (22.1%) survived to 12 months with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, decreased by less than or equal to 15 points from baseline, and 39 (30.5%) survived to 12 months with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, greater than or equal to 70. On multivariable analyses, open-chest cardiac massage was independently associated with greater 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, decreased by less than or equal to 15 points and greater 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, greater than or equal to 70. Higher minimum postarrest lactate and preexisting gastrointestinal conditions were independently associated with lower 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, decreased by less than or equal to 15 points and lower 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, greater than or equal to 70. CONCLUSIONS About one third of children survived with good neurobehavioral outcome 1 year after receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for in-hospital arrest. Open-chest cardiac massage and minimum postarrest lactate were associated with survival with good neurobehavioral outcome at 1 year.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe survival and 3-month and 12-month neurobehavioral outcomes in children with preexisting neurobehavioral impairment enrolled in one of two parallel randomized clinical trials of targeted temperature management. DESIGN Secondary analysis of Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest In-Hospital and Out-of-Hospital trials data. SETTING Forty-one PICUs in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom. PATIENTS Eighty-four participants (59 in-hospital cardiac arrest and 25 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest), 49 males, 35 females, mean age 4.6 years (SD, 5.36 yr), with precardiac arrest neurobehavioral impairment (Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition composite score < 70). All required chest compressions for greater than or equal to 2 minutes, were comatose and required mechanical ventilation after return of circulation. INTERVENTIONS Neurobehavioral function was assessed using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition at baseline (reflecting precardiac arrest status), and at 3 and 12 months postcardiac arrest, followed by on-site cognitive evaluation. Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition norms are 100 (mean) ± 15 (SD); higher scores indicate better function. Analyses evaluated survival, changes in Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, and cognitive functioning. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Twenty-eight of 84 (33%) survived to 12 months (in-hospital cardiac arrest, 19/59 (32%); out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, 9/25 [36%]). In-hospital cardiac arrest (but not out-of-hospital cardiac arrest) survival rate was significantly lower compared with the Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest group without precardiac arrest neurobehavioral impairment. Twenty-five survived with decrease in Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition less than or equal to 15 (in-hospital cardiac arrest, 18/59 (31%); out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, 7/25 [28%]). At 3-months postcardiac arrest, mean Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition scores declined significantly (-5; SD, 14; p < 0.05). At 12 months, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition declined after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (-10; SD, 12; p < 0.05), but not in-hospital cardiac arrest (0; SD, 15); 43% (12/28) had unchanged or improved scores. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the feasibility, utility, and challenge of including this population in clinical neuroprotection trials. In children with preexisting neurobehavioral impairment, one-third survived to 12 months and their neurobehavioral outcomes varied broadly.

Therapeutic hypothermia after paediatric cardiac arrest: Pooled randomized controlled trials. Resuscitation 2018; 133:101-107. [PMID: 30291883 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2018.09.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2018] [Revised: 09/13/2018] [Accepted: 09/14/2018] [Indexed: 10/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Separate trials to evaluate therapeutic hypothermia after paediatric cardiac arrest for out-of-hospital and in-hospital settings reported no statistically significant differences in survival with favourable neurobehavioral outcome or safety compared to therapeutic normothermia. However, larger sample sizes might detect smaller clinical effects. Our aim was to pool data from identically conducted trials to approximately double the sample size of the individual trials yielding greater statistical power to compare outcomes. METHODS Combine individual patient data from two clinical trials set in forty-one paediatric intensive care units in USA, Canada and UK. Children aged at least 48 h up to 18 years old, who remained comatose after resuscitation, were randomized within 6 h of return of circulation to hypothermia or normothermia (target 33.0 °C or 36.8 °C). The primary outcome, survival 12 months post-arrest with Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales, Second Edition (VABS-II) score at least 70 (scored from 20 to 160, higher scores reflecting better function, population mean = 100, SD = 15), was evaluated among patients with pre-arrest scores ≥70. RESULTS 624 patients were randomized. Among 517 with pre-arrest VABS-II scores ≥70, the primary outcome did not significantly differ between hypothermia and normothermia groups (28% [75/271] and 26% [63/246], respectively; relative risk, 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81 to 1.42; p = 0.61). Among 602 evaluable patients, the change in VABS-II score from baseline to 12 months did not differ significantly between groups (p = 0.20), nor did, proportion of cases with declines no more than 15 points or improvement from baseline [22% (hypothermia) and 21% (normothermia)]. One-year survival did not differ significantly between hypothermia and normothermia groups (44% [138/317] and 38% [113/ 297], respectively; relative risk, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.95 to 1.38; p = 0.15). Incidences of blood-product use, infection, and serious cardiac arrhythmia adverse events, and 28-day mortality, did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of combined data from two paediatric cardiac arrest targeted temperature management trials including both in-hospital and out-of-hospital cases revealed that hypothermia, as compared with normothermia, did not confer a significant benefit in survival with favourable functional outcome at one year.
