Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to support cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is increasingly used in children suffering cardiac arrest after cardiac surgery. However, its efficacy in promoting survival has not been evaluated. We compared survival of pediatric cardiac surgery patients suffering in-hospital cardiac arrest who were resuscitated with extracorporeal CPR (E-CPR) to those resuscitated with conventional CPR (C-CPR) using propensity matching. DESIGN Retrospective study using multicenter data from the American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry (2008-2020). SETTING Multicenter cardiac arrest database containing cardiac arrest and CPR data from U.S. hospitals. PATIENTS Cardiac surgical patients younger than 18 years old who suffered in-hospital cardiac arrest and received greater than or equal to 10 minutes of CPR. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Among 1223 patients, 741 (60.6%) received C-CPR and 482 (39.4%) received E-CPR. E-CPR utilization increased over the study period ( p < 0.001). Duration of CPR was longer in E-CPR compared with C-CPR recipients (42 vs. 26 min; p < 0.001). In a propensity score matched cohort (382 E-CPR recipients, 382 C-CPR recipients), E-CPR recipients had survival to discharge (odds ratio [OR], 2.22; 95% CI, 1.7-2.9; p < 0.001). E-CPR survival was only higher when CPR duration was greater than 18 minutes. Propensity matched analysis using patients from institutions contributing at least one E-CPR case ( n = 35 centers; 353 E-CPR recipients, 353 C-CPR recipients) similarly demonstrated improved survival in E-CPR recipients compared with those who received C-CPR alone (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.6-2.8; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS E-CPR compared with C-CPR improved survival in children suffering cardiac arrest after cardiac surgery requiring CPR greater than or equal to 10 minutes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess associations between outcome and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in children with medical cardiac, surgical cardiac, or noncardiac disease. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a multicenter cluster randomized trial, the ICU-RESUScitation Project (NCT02837497, 2016-2021). SETTING Eighteen PICUs. PATIENTS Children less than or equal to 18 years old and greater than or equal to 37 weeks postconceptual age receiving chest compressions (CC) of any duration during the study. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 1,100 children with IHCA, there were 273 medical cardiac (25%), 383 surgical cardiac (35%), and 444 noncardiac (40%) cases. Favorable neurologic outcome was defined as no more than moderate disability or no worsening from baseline Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category at discharge. The medical cardiac group had lower odds of survival with favorable neurologic outcomes compared with the noncardiac group (48% vs 55%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR] [95% CI], aOR 0.59 [95% CI, 0.39-0.87], p = 0.008) and surgical cardiac group (48% vs 58%; aOR 0.64 [95% CI, 0.45-0.9], p = 0.01). We failed to identify a difference in favorable outcomes between surgical cardiac and noncardiac groups. We also failed to identify differences in CC rate, CC fraction, ventilation rate, intra-arrest average target diastolic or systolic blood pressure between medical cardiac versus noncardiac, and surgical cardiac versus noncardiac groups. The surgical cardiac group had lower odds of achieving target CC depth compared to the noncardiac group (OR 0.15 [95% CI, 0.02-0.52], p = 0.001). We failed to identify a difference in the percentage of patients achieving target CC depth when comparing medical cardiac versus noncardiac groups. CONCLUSIONS In pediatric IHCA, medical cardiac patients had lower odds of survival with favorable neurologic outcomes compared with noncardiac and surgical cardiac patients. We failed to find differences in CPR quality between medical cardiac and noncardiac patients, but there were lower odds of achieving target CC depth in surgical cardiac compared to noncardiac patients.

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.

Cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pediatric patients with cardiac disease: a narrative review. Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:4289-4308. [PMID: 37336847 PMCID: PMC10909121 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05055-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
Children with cardiac disease are at a higher risk of cardiac arrest as compared to healthy children. Delivering adequate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be challenging due to anatomic characteristics, risk profiles, and physiologies. We aimed to review the physiological aspects of resuscitation in different cardiac physiologies, summarize the current recommendations, provide un update of current literature, and highlight knowledge gaps to guide research efforts. We specifically reviewed current knowledge on resuscitation strategies for high-risk categories of patients including patients with single-ventricle physiology, right-sided lesions, right ventricle restrictive physiology, left-sided lesions, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and arrhythmias. Cardiac arrest occurs in about 1% of hospitalized children with cardiac disease, and in 5% of those admitted to an intensive care unit. Mortality after cardiac arrest in this population remains high, ranging from 30 to 65%. The neurologic outcome varies widely among studies, with a favorable neurologic outcome at discharge observed in 64%-95% of the survivors. Risk factors for cardiac arrest and associated mortality include younger age, lower weight, prematurity, genetic syndrome, single-ventricle physiology, arrhythmias, pulmonary arterial hypertension, comorbidities, mechanical ventilation preceding cardiac arrest, surgical complexity, higher vasoactive-inotropic score, and factors related to resources and institutional characteristics. Recent data suggest that Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation CPR (ECPR) may be a valid strategy in centers with expertise. Overall, knowledge on resuscitation strategies based on physiology remains limited, with a crucial need for further research in this field. Collaborative and interprofessional studies are highly needed to improve care and outcomes for this high-risk population. What is Known: • Children with cardiac disease are at high risk of cardiac arrest, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation may be challenging due to unique characteristics and different physiologies. • Mortality after cardiac arrest remains high and neurologic outcomes suboptimal. What is New: • We reviewed the unique resuscitation challenges, current knowledge, and recommendations for different cardiac physiologies. • We highlighted knowledge gaps to guide research efforts aimed to improve care and outcomes in this high-risk population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with congenital and acquired heart disease are at a higher risk of cardiac arrest compared to those without heart disease. Although the monitoring of cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality and extracorporeal resuscitation technologies have advanced, survival after cardiac arrest in this population has not improved. Cardiac arrest prevention, using predictive algorithms with machine learning, has the potential to reduce cardiac arrest rates. However, few studies have evaluated the use of these algorithms in predicting cardiac arrest in children with heart disease. METHODS We collected demographic, laboratory, and vital sign information from the electronic health records (EHR) of all the patients that were admitted to a single-center pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU), between 2010 and 2019, who had a cardiac arrest during their CICU admission, as well as a comparator group of randomly selected non-cardiac-arrest controls. We compared traditional logistic regression modeling against a novel adaptation of a machine learning algorithm (functional gradient boosting), using time series data to predict the risk of cardiac arrest. RESULTS A total of 160 unique cardiac arrest events were matched to non-cardiac-arrest time periods. Using 11 different variables (vital signs and laboratory values) from the EHR, our algorithm's peak performance for the prediction of cardiac arrest was at one hour prior to the cardiac arrest (AUROC of 0.85 [0.79,0.90]), a performance that was similar to our previously published multivariable logistic regression model. CONCLUSIONS Our novel machine learning predictive algorithm, which was developed using retrospective data that were collected from the EHR and predicted cardiac arrest in the children that were admitted to a single-center pediatric cardiac intensive care unit, demonstrated a performance that was similar to that of a traditional logistic regression model. While these results are encouraging, future research, including prospective validations with multicenter data, is warranted prior to the implementation of this algorithm as a real-time clinical decision support tool.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Data on trends in incidence and mortality for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in children with cardiac disease in the intensive care unit (ICU) are lacking. Additionally, there is limited information on factors associated with IHCA and mortality in this population. OBJECTIVE To investigate incidence, trends, and factors associated with IHCA and mortality in children with cardiac disease in the ICU. DATA SOURCES A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and CINAHL, from inception to September 2021. STUDY SELECTION Observational studies on IHCA in pediatric ICU patients with cardiac disease were selected (age cutoffs in studies varied from age ≤18 y to age ≤21 y). DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Quality of studies was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Quality Assessment Tools. Data on incidence, mortality, and factors associated with IHCA or mortality were extracted by 2 independent observers. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to compute pooled proportions and pooled ORs. Metaregression, adjusted for type of study and diagnostic category, was used to evaluate trends in incidence and mortality. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary outcomes were incidence of IHCA and in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were proportions of patients who underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and those who did not achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). RESULTS Of the 2574 studies identified, 25 were included in the systematic review (131 724 patients) and 18 in the meta-analysis. Five percent (95% CI, 4%-6%) of children with cardiac disease in the ICU experienced IHCA. The pooled in-hospital mortality among children who experienced IHCA was 51% (95% CI, 42%-59%). Thirty-nine percent (95% CI, 29%-51%) did not achieve ROSC; in centers with ECMO, 22% (95% CI, 14%-33%) underwent ECPR, whereas 22% (95% CI, 12%-38%) were unable to be resuscitated. Both incidence of IHCA and associated in-hospital mortality decreased significantly in the last 20 years (both P for trend < .001), whereas the proportion of patients not achieving ROSC did not significantly change (P for trend = .90). Neonatal age, prematurity, comorbidities, univentricular physiology, arrhythmias, prearrest mechanical ventilation or ECMO, and higher surgical complexity were associated with increased incidence of IHCA and mortality odds. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This systematic review and meta-analysis found that 5% of children with cardiac disease in the ICU experienced IHCA. Decreasing trends in IHCA incidence and mortality suggest that education on preventive interventions, use of ECMO, and post-arrest care may have been effective; however, there remains a crucial need for developing resuscitation strategies specific to children with cardiac disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe baseline and event characteristics and outcomes for adult patients who experience in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in a quaternary children's hospital and compare IHCA outcomes in younger (18-24 years) versus older (≥25 years) adults. We hypothesized that the rate of survival to hospital discharge would be lower in the older adult group. METHODS We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study of inpatient areas of a quaternary children's center. Adult patients (≥18 years of age) with an index pulseless IHCA requiring at least 1 minute of cardiopulmonary resuscitation or defibrillation were included. RESULTS Thirty-three events met the inclusion criteria with a median patient age of 23.9 years (interquartile range, 20.2-33.3 years). Twenty-one (64%) patients had congenital heart disease, and 25 (76%) patients had comorbidities involving ≥2 organ systems. The most common prearrest interventions were invasive mechanical ventilation (76%) and vasoactive infusions (55%). Seventeen patients (52%) survived to hospital discharge.Survival to discharge was lower in patients 25 years or older compared with patients aged 18 to 24 years old (3 of 15 [20%] vs 14 of 18 [78%], respectively; P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS The majority of adult patients with IHCA in our pediatric hospital had preexisting multisystem comorbidities, the most common of which was congenital heart disease. Overall survival to discharge after IHCA was 52%, similar to that reported for the general pediatric population. Survival to discharge was significantly lower in the subgroup of patients 25 years or older when compared with those between the ages of 18 and 24 years.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Pediatric patients with cardiovascular disease are at increased risk of cardiopulmonary arrest. Despite utilization of Cardiac Pediatric Early Warning Scores to identify patients at risk of decompensation, our institution had a twofold increase in cardiac arrests (CAs) in the acute care cardiology unit (ACCU) over 2 years. Through a quality improvement initiative, we developed a watcher program, HeartWatch, to reduce the CA arrest rate in the ACCU by 50% over the first year of implementation. METHODS HeartWatch aims to identify patients not adequately captured by Cardiac Pediatric Early Warning Scores who are at high risk for sudden decompensation. Inclusion criteria were developed and evaluated during pilot and implemented phases (April 2020-April 2021) and then monitored in a sustained phase through June 2022. Our primary outcome was the reduction in the out-of-ICU CA rate. RESULTS During the 13 months, we enrolled 169 patients, and the CA rate decreased from 0.7 to 0.33 per 1,000 patient days, a 53% reduction. The CA rate further decreased to 0.28 events per 1,000 patient days, a 60% reduction, by June 2022. The most common indications for HeartWatch inclusion were high-risk single-ventricle patients (31%) and patients with diminished ventricular function (20%). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of HeartWatch was associated with a meaningful reduction in CA in the ACCU. Creating shared mental models for high-risk patients is essential for patient safety. Future work will optimize local processes that focus on the sustainability of our gains. We will also evaluate opportunities to adapt and implement a similar framework in other institutions to assess reproducibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined the incidence, postoperative outcomes, and patient-related factors associated with preincision cardiac arrest in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS We retrospectively examined adult patients undergoing elective or urgent cardiac surgery at the Cleveland Clinic between 2008 and 2019. The incidence of preincision cardiac arrest, defined as arrest between induction of general anesthesia and surgical incision, was reported. In a secondary analysis, we assessed the association between preincision cardiac arrest and major postoperative outcomes. In a tertiary analysis, we used adjusted linear regression models to explore the association between preincision cardiac arrest and prespecified patient risk factors, including severe left main coronary artery stenosis, left ventricular ejection fraction, moderate/severe right ventricular dysfunction, low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis, and moderate/severe pulmonary hypertension. RESULTS Preincision cardiac arrests occurred in 75 of 41,238 (incidence of 0.18%; 95% CI, 0.17-0.26) patients who had elective or urgent cardiac surgery. Successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation with return of spontaneous circulation or bridge to cardiopulmonary bypass occurred in 74 of 75 (98.6%) patients. Patients who experienced preincision cardiac arrest had significantly higher in-hospital mortality than those who did not (11% vs 2%; odds ratio [OR] (95% CI), 4.14 (1.94-8.84); P < .001). They were also more likely to suffer postoperative respiratory failure (46% vs 13%; OR [95% CI], 3.94 [2.40-6.47]; P < .001), requirement for renal replacement therapy (11% vs 2%; OR [95% CI], 3.90 [1.82-8.35]; P < .001), neurologic deficit (7% vs 2%; OR [95% CI], 2.49 (1.00-6.21); P = .05), and longer median hospital stay (15 vs 8 days; hazard ratio (HR) [95% CI], 0.68 [0.55-0.85]; P < .001). Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (per 5% decrease) (OR [95% CI], 1.13 [1.03-1.22]; P = .006) and moderate/severe pulmonary hypertension (OR [95% CI], 3.40 [1.95-5.90]; P < .001) were identified as independent risk factors for cardiac arrest. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac arrest after anesthetic induction is rare in cardiac surgical patients in our investigation. Though most patients are rescued, morbidity and mortality remain higher. Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and moderate/severe pulmonary hypertension are associated with greater risk for preincision cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Background and ObjectivesChildren with congenital heart disease (CHD), have fragile hemodynamics and can deteriorate due to common childhood illnesses and the natural progression of their disease. During these acute periods of deterioration, these children often present to their local emergency departments (ED) where expertise in CHD is limited, and appropriate intervention is crucial to their survival. Previous studies identified that determining the appropriate intervention for CHD patients can be difficult for ED physicians, particularly since key components of effective decision making are not being met. Although key components of effective decision making for ED physicians have been identified, they have yet to be transformed into actionable guidance. We used decision centered design (DCD) to translate key components of decision making into decision requirements and associated design concepts, that we subsequently incorporated into a prototype clinical decision support system (CDSS).MethodsUsing framework analysis, transcripts from Critical Decision Method interviews of CHD experts and ED physicians were inductively coded to identify key decision requirements for ED physicians that are currently not well supported, and their associated design concepts. A design workshop was held to refine the identified key decision requirements and design concepts as well as to sketch information that would satisfy the identified requirements. These were iteratively incorporated into a prototype CDSS.ResultsThree decision requirements: (1) distinguish the patient's unique physiology based on their unique cardiac anatomy, (2) explicitly consider CHD specific differential diagnoses to allow a more structured reflection of diagnosis, and (3) select CHD appropriate interventions for each patient, were identified. These requirements along with design concepts and information needs identified through the design workshop were incorporated into the CDSS prototype.ConclusionWe identified key decision requirements and associated design concepts, that informed the design of a CDSS to provide actionable guidance for ED physicians when managing CHD patients. Meeting ED physicians' decision components with a CDSS requires the translation of their key decision requirements in its design. If not, we risk creating designs that interfere with clinician performance.

Abstract
This manuscript is one component of a larger series of articles produced by the Neonatal Cardiac Care Collaborative that are published in this supplement of Pediatrics. In this review article, we summarize the contemporary physiologic principles, evaluation, and management of acute care issues for neonates with complex congenital heart disease. A multidisciplinary team of authors was created by the Collaborative's Executive Committee. The authors developed a detailed outline of the manuscript, and small teams of authors were assigned to draft specific sections. The authors reviewed the literature, with a focus on original manuscripts published in the last decade, and drafted preliminary content and recommendations. All authors subsequently reviewed and edited the entire manuscript until a consensus was achieved. Topics addressed include cardiopulmonary interactions, the pathophysiology of and strategies to minimize the development of ventilator-induced low cardiac output syndrome, common postoperative physiologies, perioperative bleeding and coagulation, and common postoperative complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES IV calcium administration during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is associated with worse survival. We evaluated survival to hospital discharge in children with heart disease (HD), where calcium is more frequently administered during CPR. DESIGN Retrospective study of a multicenter registry database. SETTING Data reported to the American Heart Association's (AHA) Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry. PATIENTS Children younger than 18 years with HD experiencing an index IHCA event requiring CPR between January 2000 and January 2019. Using propensity score matching (PSM), we selected matched cohorts of children receiving and not receiving IV calcium during CPR and compared the primary outcome of survival to hospital discharge. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We included 4,556 children with HD experiencing IHCA. Calcium was administered in 1,986 (44%), more frequently in children younger than 1 year old (65% vs 35%; p < 0.001) and surgical cardiac (SC) compared with medical cardiac patients (51% vs 36%; p < 0.001). Calcium administration during CPR was associated with longer duration CPR (median 27 min [interquartile range (IQR): 10-50 min] vs 5 min [IQR, 2-16 min]; p < 0.001) and more frequent extracorporeal-CPR deployment (25% vs 8%; p < 0.001). In the PSM cohort, those receiving calcium had decreased survival to hospital discharge (39% vs 46%; p = 0.02) compared with those not receiving calcium. In a subgroup analysis, decreased discharge survival was only seen in SC cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Calcium administration during CPR for children with HD experiencing IHCA is common and is associated with worse survival. Administration of calcium during CPR in children with HD should be restricted to specific indications as recommended by the AHA CPR guidelines.

Abstract
Importance Preventing in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) likely represents an effective strategy to improve outcomes for critically ill patients, but feasibility of IHCA prevention remains unclear. Objective To determine whether a low-technology cardiac arrest prevention (CAP) practice bundle decreases IHCA rate. Design, Setting, and Participants Pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) teams from the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC4) formed a collaborative learning network to implement the CAP bundle consistent with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement framework; 15 hospitals implemented the bundle voluntarily. Risk-adjusted IHCA incidence rates were analyzed across 2 time periods, 12 months (baseline) and 18 months after CAP implementation (intervention) using difference-in-differences (DID) regression to compare 15 CAP and 16 control PC4 hospitals that chose not to participate in CAP but had IHCA rates tracked in the PC4 registry. Patients deemed at high risk for IHCA, based on a priori evidence-based criteria and empirical hospital-specific criteria, were selected to receive the CAP bundle. Data were collected from July 2018 to December 2019, and data were analyzed from March to August 2020. Interventions CAP bundle included 5 elements developed to promote increased situational awareness and communication among bedside clinicians to recognize and mitigate deterioration in high-risk patients. Main Outcomes and Measures Risk-adjusted IHCA incidence rate across all CICU admissions (IHCA events divided by all admissions). Results The bundle was activated in 2664 of 10 510 CAP hospital admissions (25.3%); admission characteristics were similar across study periods. There was a 30% relative reduction in risk-adjusted IHCA incidence rate at CAP hospitals (intervention period: 2.6%; 95% CI, 2.2-2.9; baseline: 3.7%; 95% CI, 3.1-4.0), but no change at control hospitals (intervention period: 2.7%; 95% CI, 2.3-2.9; baseline: 2.7%; 95% CI, 2.2-3.0). DID analysis confirmed significantly reduced odds of IHCA among all admissions at CAP hospitals compared with control hospitals during the intervention period vs baseline (odds ratio, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.56-0.91; P = .01). DID odds ratios were 0.72 (95% CI, 0.53-0.98) for the surgical subgroup, 0.74 (95% CI, 0.48-1.14) for the medical subgroup, and 0.72 (95% CI, 0.50-1.03) for the high-risk admission subgroup at CAP hospitals after intervention. All-cause risk-adjusted mortality rate did not change after intervention. Conclusions and Relevance Implementation of this CAP bundle led to significant IHCA reduction across multiple pediatric CICUs. Future studies may determine if this bundle can be effective in other critically ill populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has improved survival in patients with cardiac arrest; however, factors predicting survival remain poorly characterized. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine the predictors of survival of ECPR in pediatric patients. METHODS We searched EMBASE, PubMed, SCOPUS, and the Cochrane Library from 2010 to 2021 for pediatric ECPR studies comparing survivors and non-survivors. Thirty outcomes were analyzed and classified into 5 categories: demographics, pre-ECPR laboratory measurements, pre-ECPR co-morbidities, intra-ECPR characteristics, and post-ECPR complications. RESULTS Thirty studies (n = 3794) were included. Pooled survival to hospital discharge (SHD) was 44% (95% CI: 40%-47%, I2 = 67%). Significant predictors of survival for pediatric ECPR include the pre-ECPR lab measurements of PaO2, pH, lactate, PaCO2, and creatinine, pre-ECPR comorbidities of single ventricle (SV) physiology, renal failure, sepsis, ECPR characteristics of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) duration, ECMO flow rate at 24 hours, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration, shockable rhythm, intra-ECPR neurological complications, and post-ECPR complications of pulmonary hemorrhage, renal failure, and sepsis. CONCLUSION Prior to ECPR initiation, increased CPR duration and lactate levels had among the highest associations with mortality, followed by pH. After ECPR initiation, pulmonary hemorrhage and neurological complications were most predictive for survival. Clinicians should focus on these factors to better inform potential prognosis of patients, advise appropriate patient selection, and improve ECPR program effectiveness.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) are common complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The purpose of this study was to characterize AKI and FO in children receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR). We performed a multicenter retrospective study of children who received eCPR. AKI was assessed during ECMO and FO defined as <10% [FO-] vs. ≥10% [FO+] evaluated at ECMO initiation and discontinuation. A composite exposure, defined by a four-group discrete phenotypic classification [FO-/AKI-, FO-/AKI+, FO+/AKI-, FO+/AKI+] was also evaluated. Primary outcome was mortality and hospital length of stay (LOS) among survivors. 131 patients (median age 29 days (IQR:9, 242 days); 51% men and 82% with underlying cardiac disease) were included. 45.8% survived hospital discharge. FO+ at ECMO discontinuation, but not AKI was associated with mortality [aOR=2.3; 95% CI: 1.07-4.91]. LOS for FO+ patients was twice as long as FO- patients, irrespective of AKI status [(FO+/AKI+ (60 days; IQR: 49-83) vs. FO-/AKI+ (30 days, IQR: 19-48 days); P = 0.01]. FO+ at ECMO initiation and discontinuation was associated with an adjusted 66% and 50% longer length of stay respectively. Prospective studies that target timing and strategy of fluid management, including its removal in children receiving ECPR are greatly needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival after paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest is worse on nights and weekends without demonstration of disparity in cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality. It is unknown whether these findings differ in children with CHD. This study aimed to determine whether cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality might explain the hypothesised worse outcomes of children with CHD during nights and weekends. METHODS In-hospital cardiac arrest data collected by the Pediatric Resuscitation Quality Collaborative for children with CHD. Chest compression quality metrics and survival outcomes were compared between events that occurred during day versus night, and during weekday versus weekend using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS We evaluated 3614 sixty-second epochs of chest compression data from 132 subjects between 2015 and 2020. There was no difference in chest compression quality metrics during day versus night or weekday versus weekend. Weekday versus weekend was associated with improved survival to hospital discharge (adjusted odds ratio 4.56 [1.29,16.11]; p = 0.02] and survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurological outcomes (adjusted odds ratio 6.35 [1.36,29.6]; p = 0.02), but no difference with rate of return of spontaneous circulation or return of circulation. There was no difference in outcomes for day versus night. CONCLUSION For children with CHD and in-hospital cardiac arrest, there was no difference in chest compression quality metrics by time of day or day of week. Although there was no difference in outcomes for events during days versus nights, there was improved survival to hospital discharge and survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurological outcome for events occurring on weekdays compared to weekends.

Shifting the Paradigm: A Quality Improvement Approach to Proactive Cardiac Arrest Reduction in the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Pediatr Qual Saf 2022; 7:e525. [PMID: 35071961 PMCID: PMC8782114 DOI: 10.1097/pq9.0000000000000525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Introduction: Children with cardiac conditions are at higher risk of in-hospital pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest (CA), resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Despite the elevated risk, proactive cardiac arrest prevention programs in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) remain underdeveloped. Our team developed a multidisciplinary program centered on developing a quality improvement (QI) bundle for patients at high risk of CA. Methods: This project occurred in a 26-bed pediatric CICU of a tertiary care children’s hospital. Statistical process control methodology tracked changes in CA rates over time. The global aim was to reduce CICU mortality; the smart aim was to reduce the CA rate by 50% over 12 months. Interprofessional development and implementation of a QI bundle included visual cues to identify high-risk patients, risk mitigation strategies, a new rounding paradigm, and defined escalation algorithms. Additionally, weekly event and long-term data reviews, arrest debriefs, and weekly unit-wide dissemination of key findings supported a culture change. Results: After bundle implementation, CA rates decreased by 68% compared to baseline and 45% from the historical baseline. Major complications decreased from 17.1% to 12.6% (P < 0.001) and mortality decreased from 5.7% to 5.0% (P = 0.048). These results were sustained for 30 months. Conclusions: Cardiac arrest is a modifiable, rather than inevitable, metric in the CICU. Reduction is achievable through the interprofessional implementation of bundled interventions targeting proactive CA prevention. Once incorporated into widespread efforts to engage multidisciplinary CICU stakeholders, these patient-focused interventions resulted in sustained improvement.

Use of a Risk Analytic Algorithm to Inform Weaning From Vasoactive Medication in Patients Following Pediatric Cardiac Surgery. Crit Care Explor 2021; 3:e0563.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Advanced clinical decision support tools, such as real-time risk analytic algorithms, show promise in assisting clinicians in making more efficient and precise decisions. These algorithms, which calculate the likelihood of a given underlying physiology or future event, have predominantly been used to identify the risk of impending clinical decompensation. There may be broader clinical applications of these models. Using the inadequate delivery of oxygen index, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved risk analytic algorithm predicting the likelihood of low cardiac output state, the primary objective was to evaluate the association of inadequate delivery of oxygen index with success or failure of weaning vasoactive support in postoperative cardiac surgery patients. DESIGN Multicenter retrospective cohort study. SETTING Three pediatric cardiac ICUs at tertiary academic children's hospitals. PATIENTS Infants and children greater than 2 kg and less than 12 years following cardiac surgery, who required vasoactive infusions for greater than 6 hours in the postoperative period. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Postoperative patients were identified who successfully weaned off initial vasoactive infusions (n = 2,645) versus those who failed vasoactive wean (required reinitiation of vasoactive, required mechanical circulatory support, renal replacement therapy, suffered cardiac arrest, or died) (n = 516). Inadequate delivery of oxygen index for final 6 hours of vasoactive wean was captured. Inadequate delivery of oxygen index was significantly elevated in patients with failed versus successful weans (inadequate delivery of oxygen index 11.6 [sd 19.0] vs 6.4 [sd 12.6]; p < 0.001). Mean 6-hour inadequate delivery of oxygen index greater than 50 had strongest association with failed vasoactive wean (adjusted odds ratio, 4.0; 95% CI, 2.5-6.6). In patients who failed wean, reinitiation of vasoactive support was associated with concomitant fall in inadequate delivery of oxygen index (11.1 [sd 18] vs 8.9 [sd 16]; p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS During the de-escalation phase of postoperative cardiac ICU management, elevation of the real-time risk analytic model, inadequate delivery of oxygen index, was associated with failure to wean off vasoactive infusions. Future studies should prospectively evaluate utility of risk analytic models as clinical decision support tools in de-escalation practices in critically ill patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of a quality-improvement initiative in reducing cardiac arrests in infants and children in the cardiac ICU. DESIGN Prospective observational before-after cohort study. SETTING Single pediatric cardiac ICU in the United Kingdom. PATIENTS All patients less than 18 years old admitted to the ICU. INTERVENTION Initial interdisciplinary training in cardiac arrest prevention followed by clinical practice change whereby patients with high-risk myocardium were identified on daily rounds. High-risk patients had bolus epinephrine preordered and prepared for immediate administration in the event of acute hypotension. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Interrupted time series analysis was used to compare the cardiac arrest rate in the 18 months before and 4.5 years after implementation. Mean monthly cardiac arrest rate was 17.2 per 1,000 patient days before and 7.6 per 1,000 patient days after the initiative (56% decrease). Patient characteristics and ICU interventions were similar in the control and intervention periods. In the time series analysis, monthly cardiac arrest rate in the ICU decreased by 12.4 per 1,000 patient days (95% CI, -1.5 to -23.3; p = 0.03) immediately following the intervention, followed by a nonsignificant downward trend of 0.36 per 1,000 patient days per month (95% CI, -1.3 to 0.6; p = 0.44). Bolus epinephrine was administered during 110 hypotension events in 77 patients (eight administrations per 1,000 ICU days); responder rate was 77%. There were no significant changes in ICU and hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of the initiative led to a significant, sustained reduction in ICU cardiac arrest rate.

Association between time of day and CPR quality as measured by CPR hemodynamics during pediatric in-hospital CPR. Resuscitation 2020; 153:209-216. [PMID: 32622016 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2020.06.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients who suffer in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) are less likely to survive if the arrest occurs during nighttime versus daytime. Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as a measure of chest compression quality was associated with survival from pediatric IHCA. We hypothesized that DBP during CPR for IHCA is lower during nighttime versus daytime. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of data collected from the Pediatric Intensive Care Quality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Study. Pediatric or Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit patients who received chest compressions for ≥1 min and who had invasive arterial BP monitoring were enrolled. Nighttime was defined as 11:00PM to 6:59AM and daytime as 7:00AM until 10:59PM. Primary outcome was attainment of DBP ≥ 25 mmHg in infants <1 year and ≥30 mmHg in older children. Secondary outcomes were mean DBP, ROSC, and survival to hospital discharge. Univariable and multivariate analyses evaluated the relationships between time (nighttime vs. daytime) and outcomes. RESULTS Between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2016, 164 arrests met all inclusion/exclusion criteria: 45(27%) occurred at nighttime and 119(73%) during daytime. Average DBPs achieved were not different between groups (DBP: nighttime 28.3 mmHg[25.3, 36.5] vs. daytime 29.6 mmHg[21.8, 38.0], p = 0.64). Relative risk of DBP threshold met during nighttime vs. daytime was 1.27, 95%CI [0.80, 1.98], p = 0.30. There was no significant nighttime vs. daytime difference in ROSC (28/45[62%] vs. 84/119[71%] p = 0.35) or survival to hospital discharge (16/45[36%] vs. 61/119[51%], p = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of pediatric ICU patients with IHCA, there was no significant difference in DBP during CPR between nighttime and daytime.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Practice patterns for the management of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants are changing with advances in medical management. We sought to determine the increased mortality for premature infants who had a PDA ligation with a co-existing diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). METHODS Premature neonates (<1 y old with known gestational week ≤36 wk) with a diagnosis of IVH were identified within the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) for the years 2006, 2009, and 2012. Diagnoses and procedures were analyzed by ICD-9 codes and stratified by a diagnosis of PDA and procedure of ligation. Case weighting was used to make national estimations. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to adjust for confounders. RESULTS We identified 7567 hospitalizations for premature neonates undergoing PDA ligation. The population was predominately male (51.6%), non-Hispanic white (41.1%), were from the lowest income quartile (33.1%), had a gestational week of 25-26 wk (34.0%), and a birthweight between 500 and 749 g (37.3%). There was an increased mortality (10.7% versus 6.3%, P < 0.01) and an increased length of stay (88.2 d versus 74.4 d, P < 0.01) in those with any diagnosis of IVH compared with those without. Adjusted multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that high-grade IVH (III or IV) was associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality in those undergoing PDA ligation (aOR 2.59, P < 0.01). Specifically, grade III and IV were associated with an increased odds of in-hospital mortality (aOR 1.99 and 3.16, respectively, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Attitudes regarding the need for surgical intervention for PDA have shifted in recent years. This study highlights that premature neonates with grade III or IV IVH are at significantly increased risk of mortality if undergoing PDA ligation during the same hospitalization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the association of diastolic blood pressure cutoffs (≥ 25 mm Hg in infants and ≥ 30 mm Hg in children) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation with return of spontaneous circulation and survival in surgical cardiac versus medical cardiac patients. Secondarily, we assessed whether these diastolic blood pressure targets were feasible to achieve and associated with outcome in physiology unique to congenital heart disease (single ventricle infants, open chest), and influenced outcomes when extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was deployed. DESIGN Multicenter, prospective, observational cohort analysis. SETTING Tertiary PICU and cardiac ICUs within the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network. PATIENTS Patients with invasive arterial catheters during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and surgical cardiac or medical cardiac illness category. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Hemodynamic waveforms during cardiopulmonary resuscitation were analyzed on 113 patients, 88 surgical cardiac and 25 medical cardiac. A similar percent of surgical cardiac (51/88; 58%) and medical cardiac (17/25; 68%) patients reached the diastolic blood pressure targets (p = 0.488). Achievement of diastolic blood pressure target was associated with improved survival to hospital discharge in surgical cardiac patients (p = 0.018), but not medical cardiac patients (p = 0.359). Fifty-three percent (16/30) of patients with single ventricles attained the target diastolic blood pressure. In patients with an open chest at the start of chest compressions, 11 of 20 (55%) attained the target diastolic blood pressure. In the 33 extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients, 16 patients (48%) met the diastolic blood pressure target with no difference between survivors and nonsurvivors (p = 0.296). CONCLUSIONS During resuscitation in an ICU, with invasive monitoring in place, diastolic blood pressure targets of greater than or equal to 25 mm Hg in infants and greater than or equal to 30 mm Hg in children can be achieved in patients with both surgical and medical heart disease. Achievement of diastolic blood pressure target was associated with improved survival to hospital discharge in surgical cardiac patients, but not medical cardiac patients. Diastolic blood pressure targets were feasible to achieve in 1) single ventricle patients, 2) open chest physiology, and 3) extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients.

Abstract
AIM Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with survival following pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest. The relationship between intra-arrest haemodynamics and neurological status among survivors of pediatric cardiac arrest is unknown. METHODS This study represents analysis of data from the prospective multicenter Pediatric Intensive Care Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (PICqCPR) Study. Primary predictor variables were median DBP and median systolic blood pressure (SBP) over the first 10min of CPR. The primary outcome measure was "new substantive morbidity" determined by Functional Status Scale (FSS) and defined as an increase in the FSS of at least 3 points or increase of 2 in a single FSS domain. Univariable analyses were completed to investigate the relationship between new substantive morbidity and BPs during CPR. RESULTS 244 index CPR events occurred during the study period, 77 (32%) CPR events met all inclusion criteria as well as having both DBP and FSS data available. Among 77 survivors, 32 (42%) had new substantive morbidity as measured by the FSS score. No significant differences were identified in DBP (median 30.5mmHg vs. 30.9mmHg, p=0.5) or SBP (median 76.3mmHg vs. 63.0mmHg, p=0.2) between patients with and without new substantive morbidity. Children who developed new substantive morbidity were more likely to have lower pre-arrest FSS than those that did not (median [IQR]: 7.5 [6.0-9.0] versus 9.0 [7.0-13.0], p=0.01). CONCLUSION New substantive morbidity determined by FSS after a pediatric IHCA was associated with baseline functional status, but not DBP during CPR.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the Inadequate oxygen delivery (IDO2) index dose as a predictor of cardiac arrest (CA) in neonates following congenital heart surgery. METHODS Retrospective cohort study in 3 US pediatric cardiac intensive units (1/2011- 8/2016). Calculated IDO2 index values were blinded to bedside clinicians and generated from data collected up to 30 days postoperatively, or until death or ECMO initiation. Control event data was collected from patients who did not experience CA or require ECMO. IDO2 dose was computed over a 120-min window up to 30 min prior to the CA and control events. A multivariate logistic regression prediction model including the IDO2 dose and presence or absence of a single ventricle (SV) was used. Model performance metrics were the odds ratio for each regression coefficient and receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (ROC AUC). RESULTS Of 897 patients monitored during the study period, 601 met inclusion criteria: 29 patients had CA (33 events) and 572 patients were used for control events. Seventeen (59%) CA and 125 (26%) control events occurred in SV patients. Median age/weight at surgery and level of monitoring were similar in both groups. Median postoperative event time was 0.73 days [0.05-22.39] in CA patients and 0.82 days [0.08 25.11] in control patients. Odds ratio of the IDO2 dose coefficient was 1.008 (95% CI: 1.006-1.012, p = 0.0445), and 2.952 (95% CI: 2.952-3.258, p = 0.0079) in SV. The ROC AUC using both coefficients was 0.74 (95% CI: 0.73-0.75). These associations of IDO2 dose with CA risk remained robust, even when censored periods prior to arrest were 10 and 20 min. CONCLUSION In neonates post-CPB surgery, higher IDO2 index dose over a 120-min monitoring period is associated with increased risk of cardiac arrest, even when censoring data 10, 20 or 30 min prior to the CA event.

Abstract
Unfavorable neurological outcome in children after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in infancy is frequent. However, few studies have investigated the development of these patients using comprehensive developmental tests and the feasibility of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 3rd Edition (BSID-III) has not been reported for this population. In this cross-sectional pilot study, we assessed the cognitive, language, and motor development in infants after cardiopulmonary resuscitation of ≥ 5 min with the BSID-III at the age of 12 or 24 months, depending on recruitment age. For analysis, 11 patients with in-hospital (n = 8) and out-of-hospital (n = 3) cardiac arrest were included. BSID-III results could not be quantified in three patients because of visual/hearing and/or motor impairment. In patients with quantifiable scores, 50.0% scored average in composite BSID-III scores, while the other 50.0% showed developmental delays, scoring distinctly below average. We conclude that the BSID-III is feasible for developmental assessment in the majority of the study population, but the use of instruments suitable for hearing/visually impaired and/or severely disabled infants is crucial to avoid biased results. Accurate characterization of developmental deficits is important to facilitate early identification and therapy of deficits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Children with medical cardiac disease experience poorer survival to hospital discharge after cardiopulmonary arrest compared with children with surgical cardiac disease. Limited literature exists describing epidemiology and factors associated with mortality in this heterogeneous population. We aim to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes after cardiopulmonary arrest in medical cardiac patients. DESIGN We performed a retrospective review of pediatric cardiac patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a tertiary care cardiac ICU. Surgical cardiac patients underwent cardiac surgery immediately prior to ICU admission. Nonsurgical cardiac patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of congenital heart disease: congenital heart disease medical or noncongenital heart disease medical. Clinical and outcome variables were collected. Primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. SETTINGS Texas Children's Hospital cardiac ICU. PATIENTS Patients admitted to Texas Children's Hospital cardiac ICU between January 2011 and December 2016. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 150 cardiopulmonary arrest events reviewed, 90 index events were included (46 surgical, 26 congenital heart disease medical, and 18 noncongenital heart disease medical). There was no difference in primary outcome among the three groups. The absence of an epinephrine infusion precardiopulmonary arrest was associated with increased odds of survival in the congenital heart disease medical group (p = 0.03). Noncongenital heart disease medical patients experienced pulseless ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation more frequently than congenital heart disease medical patients (p = 0.02). Congenital heart disease medical patients had trends toward longer cardiac arrest durations, higher prevalence of neurologic sequelae postcardiopulmonary arrest, and higher mortality when extracorporeal support at cardiopulmonary resuscitation was employed. CONCLUSIONS Although trends in first documented rhythm, neurologic sequelae, and inotropic support prior to cardiopulmonary arrest were noted between groups, no significant differences in survival after cardiac arrest were seen. Larger scale studies are needed to better describe factors associated with cardiopulmonary arrest as well as survival in heterogeneous medical cardiac populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to describe the functional status of survivors from extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation instituted during in-hospital cardiac arrest using the Functional Status Scale. We aimed to determine risk factors leading to the development of new morbidity and unfavorable functional outcomes. DESIGN This was a single-center retrospective chart review abstracting patient characteristics/demographic data, duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, as well as maximum lactate levels within 2 hours before and after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Cardiac arrest was defined as the administration of chest compressions for a nonperfusing cardiac rhythm. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was defined by instituting extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during active chest compressions. Functional Status Scale scores were calculated at admission and on hospital discharge for patients who survived. SETTING Patients admitted in the pediatric cardiac ICU at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2015. PATIENTS Children less than 18 years who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 608 extracorporeal membrane oxygenation events during the study period, 80 were extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (14%). There were 40 female patients (50%). Median age was 40 days (interquartile range, 9-342 d). Survival to hospital discharge was 48% (38/80). Median Functional Status Scale score at admission was 6 (interquartile range, 6-6) and at hospital discharge 9 (interquartile range, 8-11). Out of 38 survivors, 19 (50%) had a change of Functional Status Scale score greater than or equal to 3, that is consistent with new morbidity, and 26 (68%) had favorable functional outcomes with a change in Functional Status Scale score of less than 5. CONCLUSIONS This is the first extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation report to examine changes in Functional Status Scale from admission (baseline) to discharge as a measure of overall functional outcome. Half of surviving patients (19/38) had new morbidity, while 68% (26/38) had favorable outcomes. Lactate levels, duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were not found to be risk factors for the development of new morbidity and poor functional outcomes. Functional Status Scale may be used as a metric to monitor improvement of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation outcomes and help guide research initiatives to decrease morbidity in this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND On the basis of laboratory cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) investigations and limited adult data demonstrating that survival depends on attaining adequate arterial diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during CPR, the American Heart Association recommends using blood pressure to guide pediatric CPR. However, evidence-based blood pressure targets during pediatric CPR remain an important knowledge gap for CPR guidelines. METHODS All children ≥37 weeks' gestation and <19 years old in Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network intensive care units with chest compressions for ≥1 minute and invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring before and during CPR between July 1, 2013, and June 31, 2016, were included. Mean DBP during CPR and Utstein-style standardized cardiac arrest data were collected. The hypothesis was that DBP ≥25 mm Hg during CPR in infants and ≥30 mm Hg in children ≥1 year old would be associated with survival. Primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcome was survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurological outcome, defined as Pediatric Cerebral Performance Categories 1 to 3 or no worse than prearrest baseline. Multivariable Poisson regression models with robust error estimates were used to estimate the relative risk of outcomes. RESULTS Blinded investigators analyzed blood pressure waveforms during CPR from 164 children, including 60% <1 year old, 60% with congenital heart disease, and 54% after cardiac surgery. The immediate cause of arrest was hypotension in 67%, respiratory decompensation in 44%, and arrhythmia in 19%. Median duration of CPR was 8 minutes (quartiles, 3 and 27 minutes). Ninety percent survived the event, 68% with return of spontaneous circulation and 22% by extracorporeal life support. Forty-seven percent survived to hospital discharge, and 43% survived to discharge with favorable neurological outcome. Maintaining mean DBP ≥25 mm Hg in infants and ≥30 mm Hg in children ≥1 year old occurred in 101 of 164 children (62%) and was associated with survival (adjusted relative risk, 1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-2.6; P=0.007) and survival with favorable neurological outcome (adjusted relative risk, 1.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-2.5; P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that mean DBP ≥25 mm Hg during CPR in infants and ≥30 mm Hg in children ≥1 year old was associated with greater likelihood of survival to hospital discharge and survival with favorable neurological outcome.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest occurs at a higher rate in children with heart disease than in healthy children. Pediatric basic life support and advanced life support guidelines focus on delivering high-quality resuscitation in children with normal hearts. The complexity and variability in pediatric heart disease pose unique challenges during resuscitation. A writing group appointed by the American Heart Association reviewed the literature addressing resuscitation in children with heart disease. MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases were searched from 1966 to 2015, cross-referencing pediatric heart disease with pertinent resuscitation search terms. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association classification of recommendations and levels of evidence for practice guidelines were used. The recommendations in this statement concur with the critical components of the 2015 American Heart Association pediatric basic life support and pediatric advanced life support guidelines and are meant to serve as a resuscitation supplement. This statement is meant for caregivers of children with heart disease in the prehospital and in-hospital settings. Understanding the anatomy and physiology of the high-risk pediatric cardiac population will promote early recognition and treatment of decompensation to prevent cardiac arrest, increase survival from cardiac arrest by providing high-quality resuscitations, and improve outcomes with postresuscitation care.

Abstract
The objectives of this review are (I) to describe the challenges associated with monitoring patients in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU) and (II) to discuss the use of innovative statistical and artificial intelligence (AI) software programs to attempt to predict significant clinical events. Patients cared for in the PCICU are clinically fragile and at risk for fatal decompensation. Current monitoring modalities are often ineffective, sometimes inaccurate, and fail to detect a deteriorating clinical status in a timely manner. Predictive models created by AI and machine learning may lead to earlier detection of patients at risk for clinical decompensation and thereby improve care for critically ill pediatric cardiac patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In-hospital cardiac arrest occurs in 2.6-6% of children with cardiac disease and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Much remains unknown about cardiac arrest in pediatric cardiac ICUs; therefore, we aimed to describe cardiac arrest epidemiology in a contemporary multicenter cardiac ICU cohort. DESIGN Retrospective analysis within the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium clinical registry. SETTING Cardiac ICUs within 23 North American hospitals. PATIENTS All cardiac medical and surgical patients admitted from August 2014 to July 2016. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS There were 15,908 cardiac ICU encounters (6,498 medical, 9,410 surgical). 3.1% had cardiac arrest; rate was 4.8 cardiac arrest per 1,000 cardiac ICU days. Medical encounters had 50% higher rate of cardiac arrest compared with surgical encounters. Observed (unadjusted) cardiac ICU cardiac arrest prevalence varied from 1% to 5.5% among the 23 centers; cardiac arrest per 1,000 cardiac ICU days varied from 1.1 to 10.4. Over half cardiac arrest occur within 48 hours of admission. On multivariable analysis, prematurity, neonatal age, any Society of Thoracic Surgeons preoperative risk factor, and Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery mortality category 4, 5 had strongest association with surgical encounter cardiac arrest. In medical encounters, independent cardiac arrest risk factors were acute heart failure, prematurity, lactic acidosis greater than 3 mmol/dL, and invasive ventilation 1 hour after admission. Median cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration was 10 minutes, return of spontaneous circulation occurred in 64.5%, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in 27.2%. Unadjusted survival was 53.2% in encounters with cardiac arrest versus 98.2% without. Medical encounters had lower survival after cardiac arrest (37.7%) versus surgical encounters (62.5%); Norwood patients had less than half the survival after cardiac arrest (35.6%) compared with all others. Unadjusted survival after cardiac arrest varied greatly among 23 centers. CONCLUSIONS We provide contemporary epidemiologic and outcome data for cardiac arrest occurring in the cardiac ICU from a multicenter clinical registry. As detailed above, we highlight high-risk patient cohorts and periods of time that may serve as targets for research and quality improvement initiatives aimed at cardiac arrest prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is often used in children with single-ventricle anomalies. We aimed to describe extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use in single-ventricle patients to test the hypothesis that despite increasing prevalence, mortality has not improved and overall burden measure by hospital charges and length of stay have increased. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database was performed with sample weighting to generate national estimates. PATIENTS Pediatric patients (age ≤ 20) with a diagnosis of single ventricle heart disease requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support from 2000 to 2009. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Seven hundred one children (95% CI, 559-943) with single ventricle were supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the reporting period. Mortality was 57% and did not improve over time (2000 = 52%, 2003 = 63%, 2006 = 57%, and 2009 = 55%; p = 0.66). Single-ventricle patients who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were more likely to have had a cardiac procedure (90% vs 46%; p < 0.001), a diagnosis of arrhythmia (22% vs 13%; p < 0.001), cerebrovascular or neurologic insult (9% vs 1%; p < 0.001), heart failure (24% vs 12%; p < 0.001), acute renal failure (28% vs 3%; p < 0.001), or sepsis (28% vs 8%; p < 0.001). By multivariable analysis, acute renal failure was a risk factor for mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.95-4.98; p < 0.001). The length of stay for single-ventricle patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation increased from 25.2 days in 2000 to 55.6 days in 2009 (p < 0.001). Total inflation-adjusted charges increased from $358,021 (95% CI, $278,658-439,765) in 2000 to $732,349 (95% CI, $671,781-792,917) in 2009 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support is uncommon with single-ventricle admissions occurring in 2.3% of all hospitalizations. Among those patients, the mortality rate was 57% with no change over time. Acute renal failure was an independent risk factor for mortality during hospitalization. In addition, length of stay for these patients increased and hospital charges doubled. Further studies are needed to determine suitability and cost-effectiveness of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in single-ventricle patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) can result in survival after failed conventional CPR (C-CPR), no large, systematic comparison of pediatric E-CPR and continued C-CPR has been reported. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients <18 years old with CPR events ≥10 minutes in duration reported to the Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation registry between January 2000 and December 2011 were identified. Hospitals were grouped by teaching status and location. Primary outcome was survival to discharge. Regression modeling was performed, conditioning on hospital groups. A secondary analysis was performed with the use of propensity score matching. Of 3756 evaluable patients, 591 (16%) received E-CPR and 3165 (84%) received C-CPR only. Survival to hospital discharge and survival with favorable neurological outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score of 1-3 or unchanged from admission) were greater for E-CPR (40% [237 of 591] and 27% [133 of 496]) versus C-CPR patients (27% [862 of 3165] and 18% [512 of 2840]). Odds ratios (ORs) for survival to hospital discharge and survival with favorable neurological outcome were greater for E-CPR versus C-CPR. After adjustment for covariates, patients receiving E-CPR had higher odds of survival to discharge (OR, 2.80; 95% confidence interval, 2.13-3.69; P<0.001) and survival with favorable neurological outcome (OR, 2.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.91-3.64; P<0.001) than patients who received C-CPR. This association persisted when analyzed by propensity score-matched cohorts (OR, 1.70; 95% confidence interval, 1.33-2.18; P<0.001; and OR, 1.78; 95% confidence interval, 1.31-2.41; P<0.001, respectively]. CONCLUSION For children with in-hospital CPR of ≥10 minutes duration, E-CPR was associated with improved survival to hospital discharge and survival with favorable neurological outcome compared with C-CPR.

Epidemiology and outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest after pediatric cardiac surgery. Ann Thorac Surg 2014; 98:2138-43; discussion 2144. [PMID: 25443018 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2014.06.103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2014] [Revised: 06/23/2014] [Accepted: 06/27/2014] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multicenter data regarding cardiac arrest in children undergoing heart operations are limited. We describe epidemiology and outcomes associated with postoperative cardiac arrest in a large multiinstitutional cohort. METHODS Patients younger than 18 years in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database (2007 through 2012) were included. Patient factors, operative characteristics, and outcomes were described for patients with and without postoperative cardiac arrest. Multivariable models were used to evaluate the association of center volume with cardiac arrest rate and mortality after cardiac arrest, adjusting for patient and procedural factors. RESULTS Of 70,270 patients (97 centers), 1,843 (2.6%) had postoperative cardiac arrest. Younger age, lower weight, and presence of preoperative morbidities (all p < 0.0001) were associated with cardiac arrest. Arrest rate increased with procedural complexity across common benchmark operations, ranging from 0.7% (ventricular septal defect repair) to 12.7% (Norwood operation). Cardiac arrest was associated with significant mortality risk across procedures, ranging from 15.4% to 62.3% (all p < 0.0001). In multivariable analysis, arrest rate was not associated with center volume (odds ratio, 1.06; 95% confidence interval, 0.71 to 1.57 in low- versus high-volume centers). However, mortality after cardiac arrest was higher in low-volume centers (odds ratio, 2.00; 95% confidence interval, 1.52 to 2.63). This association was present for both high- and low-complexity operations. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac arrest carries a significant mortality risk across the stratum of procedural complexity. Although arrest rates are not associated with center volume, lower-volume centers have increased mortality after cardiac arrest. Further study of mechanisms to prevent cardiac arrest and to reduce mortality in those with an arrest is warranted.

Abstract
Cardiolipin, a unique phospholipid in the inner mitochondrial membrane, is critical for optimal mitochondrial function. CL abnormalities have been demonstrated in the failing rodent and adult human heart. The aim of this study was to determine whether abnormalities in CL content and the CL biosynthesis and remodeling pathways are present in pediatric idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). A cross-sectional analysis of myocardial tissue from 119 IDC and non-failing (NF) control samples was performed. Electrospray ionizing mass spectrometry was used to measure total CL and CL species content in LV tissue. RT-PCR was employed to measure gene expression of the enzymes in the CL biosynthesis and remodeling pathways in both the adult and pediatric heart. Significantly lower total and (18:2)4CL (the beneficial species) content was demonstrated in myocardium from pediatric patients with IDC compared to NF controls. Analysis of mitochondrial gene transcripts was used to demonstrate that there is no decrease in mitochondrial content. Expression of two biosynthesis enzymes and one remodeling enzyme was significantly lower in pediatric IDC compared to NF controls. Expression of two phospholipases involved in CL degradation were also altered, one up- and one down-regulated. Except for one remodeling enzyme, these changes are unique from those in the failing adult heart. Similar to what has been seen in adults and in a rat model of IDC, total and (18:2)4CL are lower in pediatric IDC. Unique CL species profiles are seen in heart tissue from children with IDC compared to adults. Differences in CL biosynthesis and remodeling enzyme expression likely explain the differences in CL profiles observed in IDC and implicate unique age-related mechanisms of disease.
