Development and testing of a resuscitation-specific measure of organizational culture for resuscitation teams. Resusc Plus 2024; 20:100796. [PMID: 39431046 PMCID: PMC11490700 DOI: 10.1016/j.resplu.2024.100796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Revised: 08/29/2024] [Accepted: 09/29/2024] [Indexed: 10/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The organizational culture (shared beliefs, perceptions, and values) of teams informs their behaviours and practices. Little is known about organizational culture for resuscitation teams. Our objective was to develop a reliable and valid resuscitation-specific organizational culture instrument (ROCI) with the goal of improving team performance. Methods Using Neonatal Resuscitation Program principles, literature review, and discussion of existing culture measures with experts, we identified organizational culture components for resuscitation and adapted existing measures to resuscitation. We developed a ROCI with five subscales (role clarity, shared-mental models, closed-loop communication, team adaptability, and psychological safety) and administered it to neonatal resuscitation team members across a hospital network. Survey psychometric assessment included reliability analyses (Cronbach's α, Pearson correlation coefficients) and validity testing (confirmatory factor analysis [CFA] and regression models examining the association of culture with implementation outcomes: climate and perceived success). Results Across 11 hospitals there were 318 complete responses (41 % response rate). Of the 22-items tested, 18 were retained after iterative psychometric assessment. The ROCI had excellent overall reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.994) and very good subscale reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.789-0.867). The CFA goodness-of-fit statistics confirmed five constructs (subscales). At the individual-level, the ROCI and all subscales were associated with both implementation outcomes. At the hospital-level, the ROCI overall and three subscales were associated with perceived success. Conclusion The ROCI is a reliable and valid measure of the organizational culture of resuscitation teams. Future ROCI assessments may provide a foundation to inform culture change initiatives to improve resuscitation quality and outcomes across populations and contexts.

Mild (34 °C) versus moderate hypothermia (24 °C) in a swine model of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Resusc Plus 2024; 19:100745. [PMID: 39246406 PMCID: PMC11378253 DOI: 10.1016/j.resplu.2024.100745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The role of hypothermia in post-arrest neuroprotection is controversial. Animal studies suggest potential benefits with lower temperatures, but high-fidelity ECPR models evaluating temperatures below 30 °C are lacking. Objectives To determine whether rapid cooling to 24 °C initiated upon reperfusion reduces brain injury compared to 34 °C in a swine model of ECPR. Methods Twenty-four female pigs had electrically induced VF and mechanical CPR for 30 min. Animals were cannulated for VA-ECMO and cooled to either 34 °C for 4 h (n = 8), 24 °C for 1 h with rewarming to 34 °C over 3 h (n = 7), or 24 °C for 4 h without rewarming (n = 9). Cooling was initiated upon VA-ECMO reperfusion by circulating ice water through the oxygenator. Brain temperature and cerebral and systemic hemodynamics were continuously monitored. After four hours on VA-ECMO, brain tissue was obtained for examination. Results Target brain temperature was achieved within 30 min of reperfusion (p = 0.74). Carotid blood flow was higher in the 24 °C without rewarming group throughout the VA-ECMO period compared to 34 °C and 24 °C with rewarming (p < 0.001). Vasopressin requirement was higher in animals treated with 24 °C without rewarming (p = 0.07). Compared to 34 °C, animals treated with 24 °C with rewarming were less coagulopathic and had less immunohistochemistry-detected neurologic injury. There were no differences in global brain injury score. Conclusions Despite improvement in carotid blood flow and immunohistochemistry detected neurologic injury, reperfusion at 24 °C with or without rewarming did not reduce early global brain injury compared to 34 °C in a swine model of ECPR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Quantify hypotension burden using high-resolution continuous arterial blood pressure (ABP) data and determine its association with outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Academic PICU. PATIENTS Children 18 years old or younger admitted with in-of-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who had invasive ABP monitoring during postcardiac arrest care. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS High-resolution continuous ABP was analyzed up to 24 hours after the return of circulation (ROC). Hypotension burden was the time-normalized integral area between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and fifth percentile MAP for age. The primary outcome was unfavorable neurologic status (pediatric cerebral performance category ≥ 3 with change from baseline) at hospital discharge. Mann-Whitney U tests compared hypotension burden, duration, and magnitude between favorable and unfavorable patients. Multivariable logistic regression determined the association of unfavorable outcomes with hypotension burden, duration, and magnitude at various percentile thresholds from the 5th through 50th percentile for age. Of 140 patients (median age 53 [interquartile range 11-146] mo, 61% male); 63% had unfavorable outcomes. Monitoring duration was 21 (7-24) hours. Using a MAP threshold at the fifth percentile for age, the median hypotension burden was 0.01 (0-0.11) mm Hg-hours per hour, greater for patients with unfavorable compared with favorable outcomes (0 [0-0.02] vs. 0.02 [0-0.27] mm Hg-hr per hour, p < 0.001). Hypotension duration and magnitude were greater for unfavorable compared with favorable patients (0.03 [0-0.77] vs. 0.71 [0-5.01]%, p = 0.003; and 0.16 [0-1.99] vs. 2 [0-4.02] mm Hg, p = 0.001). On logistic regression, a 1-point increase in hypotension burden below the fifth percentile for age (equivalent to 1 mm Hg-hr of burden per hour of recording) was associated with increased odds of unfavorable outcome (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 14.8; 95% CI, 1.1-200; p = 0.040). At MAP thresholds of 10th-50th percentiles for age, MAP burden below the threshold was greater in unfavorable compared with favorable patients in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS High-resolution continuous ABP data can be used to quantify hypotension burden after pediatric cardiac arrest. The burden, duration, and magnitude of hypotension are associated with unfavorable neurologic outcomes.

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
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the prognostic factors of pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). METHODS The retrospective study included a total of 77 pediatric cases (7 neonates and 70 children) who underwent ECPR after in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between July 2007 and December 2022. Primary endpoints were complications, while secondary endpoints included all-cause in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Among the 45 cases experiencing complications, 4 neonates and 41 children had multiple simultaneous complications, primarily neurological issues in 25 cases. Additionally, organ failure occurred in 11 cases, and immunodeficiency was present in two cases. Furthermore, 9 cases experienced bleeding events, and 13 cases showed thrombosis. Patients with complications had lower weight, shorter ECMO durations, and longer CPR durations. Non-survivors had longer CPR durations and shorter durations of ECMO, ICU stay, and mechanical ventilation compared to survivors. Complications were more prevalent in non-survivors, particularly organ failure and bleeding events. CONCLUSION Weight, CPR duration, and ECMO duration were associated with complications, suggesting areas for treatment optimization. The higher occurrence of complications in non-survivors underscores the importance of early detection and management to improve survival rates. Our findings suggest clinicians consider these factors in prognostic assessments to enhance the effectiveness of ECPR programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There are limited tools available following cardiac arrest to prognosticate neurologic outcomes. Prior retrospective and single center studies have demonstrated early EEG features are associated with neurologic outcome. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of EEG for pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in a prospective, multicenter study. METHODS This cohort study is a secondary analysis of the ICU-Resuscitation trial, a multicenter randomized interventional trial conducted at 18 pediatric and pediatric cardiac ICUs in the United States. Patients who achieved return of circulation (ROC) and had post-ROC EEG monitoring were eligible for inclusion. Patients < 90 days old and those with pre-arrest Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) scores > 3 were excluded. EEG features of interest included EEG Background Category, and presence of focal abnormalities, sleep spindles, variability, reactivity, periodic and rhythmic patterns, and seizures. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. Associations between EEG features and outcomes were assessed with multivariable logistic regression. Prediction models with and without EEG Background Category were developed and receiver operator characteristic curves compared. RESULTS Of the 1129 patients with an index cardiac arrest who achieved ROC in the parent study, 261 had EEG within 24 h of ROC, of which 151 were evaluable. The cohort included 57% males with a median age of 1.1 years (IQR 0.4, 6.8). EEG features including EEG Background Category, sleep spindles, variability, and reactivity were associated with survival with favorable outcome and survival, (all p < 0.001). The addition of EEG Background Category to clinical models including age category, illness category, PRISM score, duration of CPR, first documented rhythm, highest early post-arrest arterial lactate improved the prediction accuracy achieving an AUROC of 0.84 (CI 0.77-0.92), compared to AUROC of 0.76 (CI 0.67-0.85) (p = 0.005) without EEG Background Category. CONCLUSION This multicenter study demonstrates the value of EEG, in the first 24 h following ROC, for predicting survival with favorable outcome after a pediatric IHCA.

Association of diastolic blood pressure with coronary perfusion pressure during resuscitation in pediatric swine. Pediatr Res 2024:10.1038/s41390-024-03308-y. [PMID: 39009765 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-024-03308-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is suggested as a surrogate for coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We examined the correlation between DBP and CPP and hypothesized that both would be associated with survival in a pediatric swine model of asphyxial cardiac arrest. METHODS We performed a retrospective, secondary analysis of 102 pediatric swine resuscitations. DBP and CPP were recorded every 30 s during resuscitation. Values were compared between survivors and non-survivors. RESULTS DBP mirrored CPP in survivors and non-survivors throughout resuscitation and both were associated with survival. Improvements in DBP and CPP after the first epinephrine administration were greater in survivors (DBP: 25.1 ± 3.0 vs. 5.4 ± 0.8 mmHg, p < 0.01; CPP: 24.9 ± 3.2 vs. 4.8 ± 0.9 mmHg, p < 0.01). DBP and CPP after epinephrine administration were highly predictive of survival, with an area under the curve of 0.95 (0.89-1.00) for DBP and 0.90 (0.81-0.99) for CPP. The optimal threshold for DBP was 22.5 mmHg, whereas that for CPP was 14.5 mmHg. CONCLUSIONS DBP and CPP were associated with survival throughout resuscitation, and the response of both to the first epinephrine administration was highly predictive of survival in this model. Clinically, the availability of DBP makes it useful as a target for physiologic feedback during resuscitation. IMPACT Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) mirrored coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) throughout prolonged resuscitation in a pediatric model of asphyxial cardiac arrest. Mean DBP and CPP were significantly greater in survivors than in non-survivors both before and after administration of epinephrine. The response of both DBP and CPP to the first dose of epinephrine was highly predictive of return of spontaneous circulation. Given the clinical availability of DBP, these findings support its use as a surrogate for CPP to guide high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation in this pediatric swine model.

Characteristics of Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrests and Resuscitation Duration. JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e2424670. [PMID: 39078626 PMCID: PMC11289702 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.24670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration is associated with cardiac arrest survival. Objectives To describe characteristics associated with CPR duration among hospitalized children without return of circulation (ROC) (patient-level analysis) and determine whether hospital median CPR duration in patients without ROC is associated with survival (hospital-level analysis). Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing pediatric in-hospital CPR between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2021, used data from the Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation registry. Children receiving chest compressions for at least 2 minutes and/or defibrillation were included in the patient-level analysis. For the hospital-level analysis, sites with at least 20 total events and at least 5 events without ROC were included. Data were analyzed from December 1, 2022, to November 15, 2023. Exposures For the patient-level analysis, the exposure was CPR duration in patients without ROC. For the hospital-level analysis, the exposure was quartile of median CPR duration in events without ROC at each hospital. Main Outcomes and Measures For the patient-level analysis, outcomes were patient and event factors, including race and ethnicity and event location; we used a multivariable hierarchical linear regression model to assess factors associated with CPR duration in patients without ROC. For the hospital-level analysis, the main outcome was survival to discharge among all site events; we used a random intercept multivariable hierarchical logistic regression model to examine the association between hospital quartile of CPR duration and survival to discharge. Results Of 13 899 events, 3859 patients did not have ROC (median age, 7 months [IQR, 0 months to 7 years]; 2175 boys [56%]). Among event nonsurvivors, median CPR duration was longer in those with initial rhythms of bradycardia with poor perfusion (8.37 [95% CI, 5.70-11.03] minutes; P < .001), pulseless electrical activity (8.22 [95% CI, 5.44-11.00] minutes; P < .001), and pulseless ventricular tachycardia (6.17 [95% CI, 0.09-12.26] minutes; P = .047) (vs asystole). Shorter median CPR duration was associated with neonates compared with older children (-4.86 [95% CI, -8.88 to -0.84] minutes; P = .02), emergency department compared with pediatric intensive car7 e unit location (-4.02 [95% CI, -7.48 to -0.57] minutes; P = .02), and members of racial or ethnic minority groups compared with White patients (-3.67 [95% CI, -6.18 to -1.17]; P = .004). Among all CPR events, the adjusted odds of survival to discharge differed based on hospital quartile of median CPR duration among events without ROC; compared with quartile 1 (15.0-25.9 minutes), the adjusted odds ratio for quartile 2 (26.0-29.4 minutes) was 1.22 (95% CI, 1.09-1.36; P < .001); for quartile 3 (29.5-32.9 minutes), 1.23 (95% CI, 1.08-1.39; P = .002); and for quartile 4 (33.0-53.0 minutes), 1.04 (95% CI, 0.91-1.19; P = .58). Conclusions and Relevance In this retrospective cohort study of pediatric in-hospital CPR, several factors, including age and event location, were associated with CPR duration in event nonsurvivors. The odds of survival to discharge were lower for patients at hospitals with the shortest and longest median CPR durations among events without ROC. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal duration of CPR during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest and to provide training guidelines for resuscitation teams to eliminate disparities in resuscitation care.

Abstract
Introduction: Despite advances in treatment of children with critical heart disease, cardiac arrest (CA) remains a common occurrence. We provided virtual support to bedside teams (BTs) from a tele-critical care (TCC) unit in a pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) and focused on early detection of concerning trends (CT) and avoidance of CA. Virtual surveillance workflows included a review of remote monitoring, video feed from patient room cameras, medical records, and artificial intelligence tools. We present our initial experience with a focus on critical communications (CCs) to BTs. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive review of TCC activities was conducted from January 2019 to December 2022, involving electronic databases and electronic medical records of patients in the CICU, including related CCs to BTs, responses from BTs, and related CA. Results: We conducted 18,171 TCC activities, including 2,678 non-CCs and 248 CCs. Over time, there was a significant increase in the proportion of CCs related with CT (p = 0.002), respiratory concerns (<0.001), and abnormalities in cardiac rhythm (p = 0.04). Among a sample of 244 CCs, subsequent interventions by BTs resulted in adjustment of medical treatment (127), respiratory support (68), surgery or intervention (19), cardiac rhythm control (17), imaging study (14), early resuscitation (9), and others (10). Conclusions: CCs from a TCC unit in a pediatric CICU changed over time with an increased focus on CT and resulted in early interventions, potentially contributing to avoiding CA. This model of care in pediatric cardiac critical care has the potential to improve patient safety.

Management of Paediatric Cardiac Arrest due to Shockable Rhythm-A Simulation-Based Study at Children's Hospitals in a German Federal State. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:776. [PMID: 39062225 PMCID: PMC11274526 DOI: 10.3390/children11070776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
(1) Background: To improve the quality of emergency care for children, the Hessian Ministry for Social Affairs and Integration offered paediatric simulation-based training (SBT) for all children's hospitals in Hesse. We investigated the quality of paediatric life support (PLS) in simulated paediatric resuscitations before and after SBT. (2) Methods: In 2017, a standardised, high-fidelity, two-day in-house SBT was conducted in 11 children's hospitals. Before and after SBT, interprofessional teams participated in two study scenarios (PRE and POST) that followed the same clinical course of apnoea and cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm. The quality of PLS was assessed using a performance evaluation checklist. (3) Results: 179 nurses and physicians participated, forming 47 PRE and 46 POST interprofessional teams. Ventilation was always initiated. Before SBT, chest compressions (CC) were initiated by 87%, and defibrillation by 60% of teams. After SBT, all teams initiated CC (p = 0.012), and 80% defibrillated the patient (p = 0.028). The time to initiate CC decreased significantly (PRE 123 ± 11 s, POST 76 ± 85 s, p = 0.030). (4) Conclusions: The quality of PLS in simulated paediatric cardiac arrests with shockable rhythm was poor in Hessian children's hospitals and improved significantly after SBT. To improve children's outcomes, SBT should be mandatory for paediatric staff and concentrate on the management of shockable rhythms.

Abstract
Rationale: Adult and pediatric studies provide conflicting data regarding whether post-cardiac arrest hypoxemia, hyperoxemia, hypercapnia, and/or hypocapnia are associated with worse outcomes. Objectives: We sought to determine whether postarrest hypoxemia or postarrest hyperoxemia is associated with lower rates of survival to hospital discharge, compared with postarrest normoxemia, and whether postarrest hypocapnia or hypercapnia is associated with lower rates of survival, compared with postarrest normocapnia. Methods: An embedded prospective observational study during a multicenter interventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation trial was conducted from 2016 to 2021. Patients ⩽18 years old and with a corrected gestational age of ≥37 weeks who received chest compressions for cardiac arrest in one of the 18 intensive care units were included. Exposures during the first 24 hours postarrest were hypoxemia, hyperoxemia, or normoxemia-defined as lowest arterial oxygen tension/pressure (PaO2) <60 mm Hg, highest PaO2 ⩾200 mm Hg, or every PaO2 60-199 mm Hg, respectively-and hypocapnia, hypercapnia, or normocapnia, defined as lowest arterial carbon dioxide tension/pressure (PaCO2) <30 mm Hg, highest PaCO2 ⩾50 mm Hg, or every PaCO2 30-49 mm Hg, respectively. Associations of oxygenation and carbon dioxide group with survival to hospital discharge were assessed using Poisson regression with robust error estimates. Results: The hypoxemia group was less likely to survive to hospital discharge, compared with the normoxemia group (adjusted relative risk [aRR] = 0.71; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.58-0.87), whereas survival in the hyperoxemia group did not differ from that in the normoxemia group (aRR = 1.0; 95% CI = 0.87-1.15). The hypercapnia group was less likely to survive to hospital discharge, compared with the normocapnia group (aRR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.64-0.84), whereas survival in the hypocapnia group did not differ from that in the normocapnia group (aRR = 0.91; 95% CI = 0.74-1.12). Conclusions: Postarrest hypoxemia and hypercapnia were each associated with lower rates of survival to hospital discharge.

Association Between Chest Compression Pause Duration and Survival After Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. Circulation 2024; 149:1493-1500. [PMID: 38563137 PMCID: PMC11073898 DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.123.066882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between chest compression (CC) pause duration and pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest survival outcomes is unknown. The American Heart Association has recommended minimizing pauses in CC in children to <10 seconds, without supportive evidence. We hypothesized that longer maximum CC pause durations are associated with worse survival and neurological outcomes. METHODS In this cohort study of index pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrests reported in pediRES-Q (Quality of Pediatric Resuscitation in a Multicenter Collaborative) from July of 2015 through December of 2021, we analyzed the association in 5-second increments of the longest CC pause duration for each event with survival and favorable neurological outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category ≤3 or no change from baseline). Secondary exposures included having any pause >10 seconds or >20 seconds and number of pauses >10 seconds and >20 seconds per 2 minutes. RESULTS We identified 562 index in-hospital cardiac arrests (median [Q1, Q3] age 2.9 years [0.6, 10.0], 43% female, 13% shockable rhythm). Median length of the longest CC pause for each event was 29.8 seconds (11.5, 63.1). After adjustment for confounders, each 5-second increment in the longest CC pause duration was associated with a 3% lower relative risk of survival with favorable neurological outcome (adjusted risk ratio, 0.97 [95% CI, 0.95-0.99]; P=0.02). Longest CC pause duration was also associated with survival to hospital discharge (adjusted risk ratio, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.96-0.99]; P=0.01) and return of spontaneous circulation (adjusted risk ratio, 0.93 [95% CI, 0.91-0.94]; P<0.001). Secondary outcomes of any pause >10 seconds or >20 seconds and number of CC pauses >10 seconds and >20 seconds were each significantly associated with adjusted risk ratio of return of spontaneous circulation, but not survival or neurological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Each 5-second increment in longest CC pause duration during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest was associated with lower chance of survival with favorable neurological outcome, survival to hospital discharge, and return of spontaneous circulation. Any CC pause >10 seconds or >20 seconds and number of pauses >10 seconds and >20 seconds were significantly associated with lower adjusted probability of return of spontaneous circulation, but not survival or neurological outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe resuscitation practices in level-IV neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and identify possible areas of improvement. STUDY DESIGN This study was a cross-sectional cohort survey and conducted at the Level-IV NICUs of Children's Hospital Neonatal Consortium (CHNC). The survey was developed with consensus from resuscitation and education experts in the CHNC and pilot tested. An electronic survey was sent to individual site sponsors to determine unit demographics, resuscitation team composition, and resuscitation-related clinical practices. RESULTS Of the sites surveyed, 33 of 34 sites responded. Unit average daily census ranged from less than 30 to greater than 100, with the majority (72%) of the sites between 30 and 75 patients. A designated code response team was utilized in 18% of NICUs, only 30% assigned roles before or during codes. The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) was the exclusive algorithm used during codes in 61% of NICUs, and 34% used a combination of NRP and the Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). Most (81%) of the sites required neonatal attendings to maintain NRP training. A third of sites (36%) lacked protocols for high-acuity events. A code review process existed in 76% of participating NICUs, but only 9% of centers enter code data into a national database. CONCLUSION There is variability among units regarding designated code team presence and composition, resuscitation algorithm, protocols for high-acuity events, and event review. These inconsistencies in resuscitation teams and practices provide an opportunity for standardization and, ultimately, improved resuscitation performance. Resources, education, and efforts could be directed to these areas to potentially impact future neonatal outcomes of the complex patients cared for in level-IV NICUs. KEY POINTS · Resuscitation practice is variable in level-IV NICUs.. · Resuscitation algorithm training is not uniform. · Standardized protocols for high-acuity low-occurrence (HALO) events are lacking.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE A recent study showed an association between high hospital-level noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) use and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in children with bronchiolitis. OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine if patient-level exposure to NIPPV in children with bronchiolitis was associated with IHCA. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective cohort study at a single-center quaternary PICU in North America including children with International Classification of Diseases primary or secondary diagnoses of bronchiolitis in the Virtual Pediatric Systems database. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary exposure was NIPPV and the primary outcome was IHCA. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 4698 eligible ICU admissions with bronchiolitis diagnoses, IHCA occurred in 1.2% (57/4698). At IHCA onset, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) was the most frequent level of respiratory support (65%, 37/57), with 12% (7/57) receiving NIPPV. Patients with IHCA had higher Pediatric Risk of Mortality-III scores (3 [0-8] vs. 0 [0-2]; p < 0.001), more frequently had a complex chronic condition (94.7% vs. 46.2%; p < 0.001), and had higher mortality (21.1% vs. 1.0%; p < 0.001) compared with patients without IHCA. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved in 93% (53/57) of IHCAs; 79% (45/57) survived to hospital discharge. All seven children without chronic medical conditions and with active bronchiolitis symptoms at the time of IHCA achieved ROSC, and 86% (6/7) survived to discharge. In multivariable analysis restricted to patients receiving NIPPV or IMV, NIPPV exposure was associated with lower odds of IHCA (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.07; 95% CI, 0.03-0.18) compared with IMV. In secondary analysis evaluating categorical respiratory support in all patients, compared with IMV, NIPPV was associated with lower odds of IHCA (aOR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.14-0.87), whereas no difference was found for minimal respiratory support (none/nasal cannula/humidified high-flow nasal cannula [aOR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.23-1.36]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Cardiac arrest in children with bronchiolitis is uncommon, occurring in 1.2% of bronchiolitis ICU admissions. NIPPV use in children with bronchiolitis was associated with lower odds of IHCA.

Association between survival and number of shocks for pulseless ventricular arrhythmias during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest in a national registry. Resuscitation 2024; 198:110200. [PMID: 38582444 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2024.110200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Annually 15,200 children suffer an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in the US. Ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VF/pVT) is the initial rhythm in 10-15% of these arrests. We sought to evaluate the association of number of shocks and early dose escalation with survival for initial VF/pVT in pediatric IHCA. METHODS Using 2000-2020 data from the American Heart Association's (AHA) Get with the Guidelines®-Resuscitation (GWTG-R) registry, we identified children >48 hours of life and ≤18 years who had an IHCA from initial VF/pVT and received defibrillation. RESULTS There were 251 subjects (37.7%) who received a single shock and 415 subjects (62.3%) who received multiple shocks. Baseline and cardiac arrest characteristics did not differ between those who received a single shock versus multiple shocks except for duration of arrest and calendar year. The median first shock dose was consistent with AHA dosing recommendations and not different between those who received a single shock versus multiple shocks. Survival was improved for those who received a single shock compared to multiple shocks. However, no difference in survival was noted between those who received 2, 3, or ≥4 shocks. Of those receiving multiple shocks, no difference was observed with early dose escalation. CONCLUSIONS In pediatric IHCA, most patients with initial VF/pVT require more than one shock. No distinctions in patient or pre-arrest characteristics were identified between those who received a single shock versus multiple shocks. Subjects who received a single shock were more likely to survive to hospital discharge even after adjusting for duration of resuscitation.

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 The objective of this study was to determine the association of the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) with survival to hospital discharge in pediatric patients with a noncardiac illness category. A secondary objective was to report on trends in ECPR usage in this population for 20 years. DESIGN Retrospective multicenter cohort study. SETTING Hospitals contributing data to the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry between 2000 and 2021. PATIENTS Children (<18 yr) with noncardiac illness category who received greater than or equal to 30 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for in-hospital cardiac arrest. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Propensity score weighting balanced ECPR and conventional CPR (CCPR) groups on hospital and patient characteristics. Multivariable logistic regression incorporating these scores tested the association of ECPR with survival to discharge. A Bayesian logistic regression model estimated the probability of a positive effect from ECPR. A secondary analysis explored temporal trends in ECPR utilization. Of 875 patients, 159 received ECPR and 716 received CCPR. The median age was 1.0 [interquartile range: 0.2-7.0] year. Most patients (597/875; 68%) had a primary diagnosis of respiratory insufficiency. Median CPR duration was 45 [35-63] minutes. ECPR use increased over time ( p < 0.001). We did not identify differences in survival to discharge between the ECPR group (21.4%) and the CCPR group (16.2%) in univariable analysis ( p = 0.13) or propensity-weighted multivariable logistic regression (adjusted odds ratio 1.42 [95% CI, 0.84-2.40; p = 0.19]). The Bayesian model estimated an 85.1% posterior probability of a positive effect of ECPR on survival to discharge. CONCLUSIONS ECPR usage increased substantially for the last 20 years. We failed to identify a significant association between ECPR and survival to hospital discharge, although a post hoc Bayesian analysis suggested a survival benefit (85% posterior probability).

Abstract
Background Improving survival from pediatric cardiac arrest requires a well-functioning system of care with appropriately trained healthcare providers and designated cardiac arrest teams. This study aimed to describe the current organization and training for pediatric cardiac arrest in Denmark. Methods We performed a nationwide cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was distributed to all hospitals in Denmark with a pediatric department. The survey included questions about receiving patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, protocols for extracorporeal life support, cardiac arrest team compositions, and training. Results We obtained responses from 17 of 19 hospitals with a pediatric department. In total, 76% of hospitals received patients with pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and 35% of hospitals had a protocol for extracorporeal life support. None of the hospitals had identical cardiac arrest team member compositions. The total number of team members ranged from 4-10, with a median of 8 members (IQR 7;9). In 84% of hospitals a specialized course in pediatric resuscitation was implemented and in 5% of hospitals, the specialized course was for the entire cardiac arrest team. Only few hospitals had training in laryngeal mask (6%) and intubation (29%) for pediatric cardiac arrest and none of them were trained in extracorporeal life support. Conclusion We found high variability in the composition of the pediatric cardiac arrest teams and training across the surveyed Danish hospitals. Many hospitals lack training in important pediatric resuscitation skills. Although many hospitals receive pediatric patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, only few have protocols for transfer for extracorporeal life support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and obesity) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose control, and metabolic syndrome) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The AHA Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, brain health, complications of pregnancy, kidney disease, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, sudden cardiac arrest, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valvular disease, venous thromboembolism, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing. The 2024 AHA Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort in 2023 by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and AHA staff members. The AHA strives to further understand and help heal health problems inflicted by structural racism, a public health crisis that can significantly damage physical and mental health and perpetuate disparities in access to health care, education, income, housing, and several other factors vital to healthy lives. This year's edition includes additional global data, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
Importance Survival for children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains poor despite improvements in adult OHCA survival. Objective To characterize the frequency of and factors associated with adverse safety events (ASEs) in pediatric OHCA. Design, Setting, and Participants This population-based retrospective cohort study examined patient care reports from 51 emergency medical services (EMS) agencies in California, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin for children younger than 18 years with an OHCA in which resuscitation was attempted by EMS personnel between 2013 and 2019. Medical record review was conducted from January 2019 to April 2022 and data analysis from October 2022 to February 2023. Main Outcomes and Measure Severe ASEs during the patient encounter (eg, failure to give an indicated medication, 10-fold medication overdose). Results A total of 1019 encounters of EMS-treated pediatric OHCA were evaluated; 465 patients (46%) were younger than 12 months. At least 1 severe ASE occurred in 610 patients (60%), and 310 patients (30%) had 2 or more. Neonates had the highest frequency of ASEs. The most common severe ASEs involved epinephrine administration (332 [30%]), vascular access (212 [19%]), and ventilation (160 [14%]). In multivariable logistic regression, the only factor associated with severe ASEs was young age. Neonates with birth-related and non-birth-related OHCA had greater odds of a severe ASE compared with adolescents (birth-related: odds ratio [OR], 7.0; 95% CI, 3.1-16.1; non-birth-related: OR, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.2-9.6). Conclusions and Relevance In this large geographically diverse cohort of children with EMS-treated OHCA, 60% of all patients experienced at least 1 severe ASE. The odds of a severe ASE were higher for neonates than adolescents and even higher when the cardiac arrest was birth related. Given the national increase in out-of-hospital births and ongoing poor outcomes of OHCA in young children, these findings represent an urgent call to action to improve care delivery and training for this population.

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
AIM Pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines recommend starting CPR for heart rates (HRs) less than 60 beats per minute (bpm) with poor perfusion. Objectives were to (1) compare HRs and arterial blood pressures (BPs) prior to CPR among patients with clinician-reported bradycardia with poor perfusion ("BRADY") vs. pulseless electrical activity (PEA); and (2) determine if hemodynamics prior to CPR are associated with outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS Prospective observational cohort study performed as a secondary analysis of the ICU-RESUScitation trial (NCT028374497). Comparisons occurred (1) during the 15 seconds "immediately" prior to CPR and (2) over the two minutes prior to CPR, stratified by age (≤1 year, >1 year). Poisson regression models assessed associations between hemodynamics and outcomes. Primary outcome was return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Pre-CPR HRs were lower in BRADY vs. PEA (≤1 year: 63.8 [46.5, 87.0] min-1 vs. 120 [93.2, 150.0], p < 0.001; >1 year: 67.4 [54.5, 87.0] min-1 vs. 100 [66.7, 120], p < 0.014). Pre-CPR pulse pressure was higher among BRADY vs. PEA (≤1 year (12.9 [9.0, 28.5] mmHg vs. 10.4 [6.1, 13.4] mmHg, p > 0.001). Pre-CPR pulse pressure ≥ 20 mmHg was associated with higher rates of ROSC among PEA (aRR 1.58 [CI95 1.07, 2.35], p = 0.022) and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome in both groups (BRADY: aRR 1.28 [CI95 1.01, 1.62], p = 0.040; PEA: aRR 1.94 [CI95 1.19, 3.16], p = 0.008). Pre-CPR HR ≥ 60 bpm was not associated with outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Pulse pressure and HR are used clinically to differentiate BRADY from PEA. A pre-CPR pulse pressure >20 mmHg was associated with improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of near-hanging in children is different from that of adults due to anatomic, physiologic, and injury-related mechanisms, with evidence suggesting that blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI) and cervical spine injuries (CSI) are uncommon. We sought to estimate the incidence of secondary injuries and their association with mortality in pediatric near-hanging victims. METHODS We performed a retrospective observational study of children (≤17 years) with a diagnosis code for hanging between October 1, 2015 and February 28, 2023 who presented to one of 47 geographically diverse US children's hospitals. We evaluated the incidence of the following secondary injuries: cerebral edema, pneumothorax, pulmonary edema, BCVI, and CSI. We performed Fisher's exact test with Bonferroni correction to identify associations between intentionality, sex, age, and secondary injuries with mortality. RESULTS We included 1929 children, of whom 33.8% underwent neuroimaging, 45.9% underwent neck imaging, and 38.7% underwent neck angiography. The most common injury was cerebral edema (24.0%), followed by pulmonary edema (3.2%) and pneumothorax (2.8%). CSI (2.1%) and BCVI (0.9%) occurred infrequently. Cerebral edema, pneumothorax, pulmonary edema, and younger age (≤12 years) were associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS In this multi-center study of pediatric near-hanging victims, BCVI and CSI occurred rarely and were not associated with mortality. While children in our study underwent neck imaging more frequently than head imaging, cerebral edema occurred more often than other injury types and imparted the highest mortality risk. Given the rarity of BCVI and CSI, a selective approach to neck imaging may be warranted in pediatric near-hanging events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Though early hypotension after pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is associated with inferior outcomes, ideal post-arrest blood pressure (BP) targets have not been established. We aimed to leverage prospectively collected BP data to explore the association of post-arrest BP thresholds with outcomes. We hypothesized that post-arrest systolic and diastolic BP thresholds would be higher than the currently recommended post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation BP targets and would be associated with higher rates of survival to hospital discharge. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of prospectively collected BP data from the first 24 h following return of circulation from index IHCA events enrolled in the ICU-RESUScitation trial (NCT02837497). The lowest documented systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were percentile-adjusted for age, height and sex. Receiver operator characteristic curves and cubic spline analyses controlling for illness category and presence of pre-arrest hypotension were generated exploring the association of lowest post-arrest SBP and DBP with survival to hospital discharge and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category of 1-3 or no change from baseline). Optimal cutoffs for post-arrest BP thresholds were based on analysis of receiver operator characteristic curves and spline curves. Logistic regression models accounting for illness category and pre-arrest hypotension examined the associations of these thresholds with outcomes. RESULTS Among 693 index events with 0-6 h post-arrest BP data, identified thresholds were: SBP > 10th percentile and DBP > 50th percentile for age, sex and height. Fifty-one percent (n = 352) of subjects had lowest SBP above threshold and 50% (n = 346) had lowest DBP above threshold. SBP and DBP above thresholds were each associated with survival to hospital discharge (SBP: aRR 1.21 [95% CI 1.10, 1.33]; DBP: aRR 1.23 [1.12, 1.34]) and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome (SBP: aRR 1.22 [1.10, 1.35]; DBP: aRR 1.27 [1.15, 1.40]) (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Following pediatric IHCA, subjects had higher rates of survival to hospital discharge and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome when BP targets above a threshold of SBP > 10th percentile for age and DBP > 50th percentile for age during the first 6 h post-arrest.

Impaired echocardiographic left ventricular global longitudinal strain after pediatric cardiac arrest children is associated with mortality. Resuscitation 2023; 191:109936. [PMID: 37574003 PMCID: PMC10802989 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2023.109936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an echocardiographic method to identify left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after cardiac arrest that is less sensitive to loading conditions. We aimed to identify the frequency of impaired GLS following pediatric cardiac arrest, and its association with hospital mortality. METHODS This is a retrospective single-center cohort study of children <18 years of age treated in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after in- or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA and OHCA), with echocardiogram performed within 24 hours of initiation of post-arrest PICU care between 2013 and 2020. Patients with congenital heart disease, post-arrest extracorporeal support, or inability to measure GLS were excluded. Echocardiographic LV ejection fraction (EF) and shortening fraction (SF) were abstracted from the chart. GLS was measured post hoc; impaired strain was defined as LV GLS ≥ 2 SD worse than age-dependent normative values. Demographics and pre-arrest, arrest, and post-arrest characteristics were compared between subjects with normal versus impaired GLS. Correlation between GLS, SF and EF were calculated with Pearson comparison. Logistic regression tested the association of GLS with mortality. Area under the receiver operator curve (AUROC) was calculated for discriminative utility of GLS, EF, and SF with mortality. RESULTS GLS was measured in 124 subjects; impaired GLS was present in 46 (37.1%). Subjects with impaired GLS were older (median 7.9 vs. 1.9 years, p < 0.001), more likely to have ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation as initial rhythm (19.6% versus 3.8%, p = 0.017) and had higher peak troponin levels in the first 24 hours post-arrest (median 2.5 vs. 0.5, p = 0.002). There were no differences between arrest location or CPR duration by GLS groups. Subjects with impaired GLS compared to normal GLS had lower median EF (42.6% versus 62.3%) and median SF (23.3% versus 36.6%), all p < 0.001, with strong inverse correlation between GLS and EF (rho -0.76, p < 0.001) and SF (rho -0.71, p < 0.001). Patients with impaired GLS had higher rates of mortality (60% vs. 32%, p = 0.009). GLS was associated with mortality when controlling for age and initial rhythm [aOR 1.17 per 1% increase in GLS (95% CI 1.09-1.26), p < 0.001]. GLS, EF and SF had similar discrimination for mortality: GLS AUROC 0.69 (95% CI 0.60-0.79); EF AUROC 0.71 (95% CI 0.58-0.88); SF AUROC 0.71 (95% CI 0.61-0.82), p = 0.101. CONCLUSIONS Impaired LV function as measured by GLS after pediatric cardiac arrest is associated with hospital mortality. GLS is a novel complementary metric to traditional post-arrest echocardiography that correlates strongly with EF and SF and is associated with mortality. Future large prospective studies of post-cardiac arrest care should investigate the prognostic utilities of GLS, alongside SF and EF.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate associations between characteristics of simulated point-of-care cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training with simulated and actual intensive care unit (ICU) CPR performance, and with outcomes of children after in-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS This is a pre-specified secondary analysis of the ICU-RESUScitation Project; a prospective, multicentre cluster randomized interventional trial conducted in 18 ICUs from October 2016-March 2021. Point-of-care bedside simulations with real-time feedback to allow multidisciplinary ICU staff to practice CPR on a portable manikin were performed and quality metrics (rate, depth, release velocity, chest compression fraction) were recorded. Actual CPR performance was recorded for children 37 weeks post-conceptual age to 18 years who received chest compressions of any duration, and included intra-arrest haemodynamics and CPR mechanics. Outcomes included survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurologic status. RESULTS Overall, 18,912 point-of-care simulations were included. Simulation characteristics associated with both simulation and actual performance included site, participant discipline, and timing of simulation training. Simulation characteristics were not associated with survival with favourable neurologic outcome. However, participants in the top 3 sites for improvement in survival with favourable neurologic outcome were more likely to have participated in a simulation in the past month, on a weekday day, to be nurses, and to achieve targeted depth of compression and chest compression fraction goals during simulations than the bottom 3 sites. CONCLUSIONS Point-of-care simulation characteristics were associated with both simulated and actual CPR performance. More recent simulation, increased nursing participation, and simulation training during daytime hours may improve CPR performance.

The association of arterial blood pressure waveform-derived area duty cycle with intra-arrest hemodynamics and cardiac arrest outcomes. Resuscitation 2023; 191:109950. [PMID: 37634859 PMCID: PMC10829972 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2023.109950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
AIM Develop a novel, physiology-based measurement of duty cycle (Arterial Blood Pressure-Area Duty Cycle [ABP-ADC]) and evaluate the association of ABP-ADC with intra-arrest hemodynamics and patient outcomes. METHODS This was a secondary retrospective study of prospectively collected data from the ICU-RESUS trial (NCT02837497). Invasive arterial waveform data were used to derive ABP-ADC. The primary exposure was ABP-ADC group (<30%; 30-35%; >35%). The primary outcome was systolic blood pressure (sBP). Secondary outcomes included intra-arrest physiologic goals, CPR quality targets, and patient outcomes. In an exploratory analysis, adjusted splines and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine an optimal ABP-ADC associated with improved hemodynamics and outcomes using a multivariable model. RESULTS Of 1129 CPR events, 273 had evaluable arterial waveform data. Mean age is 2.9 years + 4.9 months. Mean ABP-ADC was 32.5% + 5.0%. In univariable analysis, higher ABP-ADC was associated with lower sBP (p < 0.01) and failing to achieve sBP targets (p < 0.01). Other intra-arrest physiologic parameters, quality metrics, and patient outcomes were similar across ABP-ADC groups. Using spline/ROC analysis and clinical judgement, the optimal ABP-ADC cut point was set at 33%. On multivariable analysis, sBP was significantly higher (point estimate 13.18 mmHg, CI95 5.30-21.07, p < 0.01) among patients with ABP-ADC < 33%. Other intra-arrest physiologic and patient outcomes were similar. CONCLUSIONS In this multicenter cohort, a lower ABP-ADC was associated with higher sBPs during CPR. Although ABP-ADC was not associated with outcomes, further studies are needed to define the interactions between CPR mechanics and intra arrest patient physiology.

Abstract
Background Pediatric neurological injury and disease is a critical public health issue due to increasing rates of survival from primary injuries (e.g., cardiac arrest, traumatic brain injury) and a lack of monitoring technologies and therapeutics for the treatment of secondary neurological injury. Translational, preclinical research facilitates the development of solutions to address this growing issue but is hindered by a lack of available data frameworks and standards for the management, processing, and analysis of multimodal data sets. Methods Here, we present a generalizable data framework that was implemented for large animal research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to address this technological gap. The presented framework culminates in an interactive dashboard for exploratory analysis and filtered data set download. Results Compared with existing clinical and preclinical data management solutions, the presented framework accommodates heterogeneous data types (single measure, repeated measures, time series, and imaging), integrates data sets across various experimental models, and facilitates dynamic visualization of integrated data sets. We present a use case of this framework for predictive model development for intra-arrest prediction of cardiopulmonary resuscitation outcome. Conclusions The described preclinical data framework may serve as a template to aid in data management efforts in other translational research labs that generate heterogeneous data sets and require a dynamic platform that can easily evolve alongside their research.

Clinician-reported physiologic monitoring of cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest: A propensity-weighted cohort study. Resuscitation 2023; 188:109807. [PMID: 37088272 PMCID: PMC10773163 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2023.109807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The primary objective was to determine the association between clinician-reported use of end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to monitor cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (pIHCA) and survival outcomes. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was performed in two cohorts: (1) Patients with an invasive airway in place at the time of arrest to evaluate ETCO2 use, and (2) patients with an arterial line in place at the time of arrest to evaluate DBP use. The primary exposure was clinician-reported use of ETCO2 or DBP. The primary outcome was return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Propensity-weighted logistic regression evaluated the association between monitoring and outcomes. SETTING Hospitals reporting to the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines®- Resuscitation registry (2007-2021). PATIENTS Children with index IHCA with an invasive airway or arterial line at the time of arrest. RESULTS Between January 2007 and May 2021, there were 15,280 pediatric CPR events with an invasive airway or arterial line in place at the time of arrest. Of 7159 events with an invasive airway, 6829 were eligible for analysis. Of 2978 events with an arterial line, 2886 were eligible. Clinicians reported using ETCO2 in 1335/6829 (20%) arrests and DBP in 1041/2886 (36%). Neither exposure was associated with ROSC. ETCO2 monitoring was associated with higher odds of 24-hour survival (aOR 1.17 [1.02, 1.35], p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Neither clinician-reported ETCO2 monitoring nor DBP monitoring during pIHCA were associated with ROSC. Monitoring of ETCO2 was associated with 24-hour survival.

Abstract
AIMS To characterize respiratory failure prior to pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and to associate pre-arrest respiratory failure characteristics with survival outcomes. METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study from a prospectively identified cohort of children <18 years in intensive care units (ICUs) who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for ≥1 minute between January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2021, and were receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in the hour prior to IHCA. Patient characteristics, ventilatory support and gas exchange immediately pre-arrest were described and their association with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was measured. RESULTS In the 187 events among 154 individual patients, the median age was 0.9 [0.2, 2.4] years, and CPR duration was 7.5 [3, 29] minutes. Respiratory failure was acute prior to 106/187 (56.7%) events, and the primary indication for IMV was respiratory in nature in 107/187 (57.2%) events. Immediately pre-arrest, the median positive end-expiratory pressure was 8 [5, 10] cmH2O; mean airway pressure was 13 [10,18] cmH2O; peak inspiratory pressure was 28 [24, 35] cmH2O; and fraction of inhaled oxygen (FiO2) was 0.40 [0.25, 0.80]. Pre-arrest FiO2 was lower in patients with ROSC vs. without ROSC (0.30 vs. 0.99; p < 0.001). Patients without ROSC had greater severity of pre-arrest oxygenation failure (p < 0.001) as defined by oxygenation index, oxygen saturation index, P/F ratio or S/F ratio. CONCLUSIONS There was substantial heterogeneity in respiratory failure characteristics and ventilatory requirements pre-arrest. Higher pre-arrest oxygen requirement and greater degree of oxygenation failure were associated with worse survival outcomes.

Abstract
Arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) is one of the few tests performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). There have been some studies on the prediction of survival outcomes in adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients during CPR using ABGA results. However, in pediatric OHCA patients, the prognosis of survival outcome based on ABGA results during CPR remains unclear. We retrospectively analyzed prospectively collected data from the Korean Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation Consortium (KoCARC) registry, a multicenter OHCA registry of Republic of Korea. We analyzed 108 pediatric (age < 19 years) OHCA patients between October 2015 and June 2022. Using multivariable logistic regression, an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) was obtained to validate the ABGA results of survival to hospital admission and survival to discharge. The variables associated with survival to hospital admission were non-comorbidities (aOR 3.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.22-7.53, p = 0.017) and PaO2 > 45.750 mmHg (aOR 2.69, 95% CI 1.13-6.42, p = 0.026). There was no variable that was statistically significant association with survival to discharge. PaO2 > 47.750 mmHg and non-comorbidities may serve as an independent prognostic factor for survival to hospital admission in pediatric OHCA patients. However, the number of cases analyzed in our study was relatively small, and there have been few studies investigating the association between ABGA results during CPR and the survival outcome of pediatric OHCA patients. Therefore, further large-scale studies are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Little is known about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality during pediatric interhospital transport; hence, our aim was to investigate its feasibility. METHODS After implementing an institutional education curriculum on pediatric resuscitation during ambulance transport, we conducted a 4-year prospective observational study involving simulation events. Simulated scenarios were (1) interhospital transport of a child retrieved in cardiac arrest (Sim1) and (2) unanticipated cardiac arrest of a child during transport (Sim2). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation data were collected via Zoll RSeries defibrillators. Performance was evaluated using age-appropriate American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines. Video recordings were reviewed for qualitative thematic analysis. RESULTS Twenty-six simulations were included: 16 Sim1 [mannequins: Laerdal SimMan 3G (n = 13); Gaumard 5-year-old HAL (n = 3)] and 10 Sim2 [Gaumard 1-year-old HAL (n = 8); Laerdal SimBaby (n = 2)]. Median (IQR) CPR duration was 18 minutes 23 seconds (14-22 minutes), chest compression rate was 112 per minute (106-118), and fraction (CCF) was 1 (0.9-1). Five hundred eight 60-second resuscitation epochs were evaluated (Sim1: 356; Sim2: 152); 73% were AHA compliant for rate and 87.8% for CCF. Twenty-four minutes (4.7%) had pauses more than 10 seconds. One hundred fifty seven Sim1 epochs (44.1%) met criteria for excellent CPR (AHA-compliant for rate, depth, and CCF). Rates of excellent CPR were higher for learner groups with increased simulation and transport experience (59.1% vs. 35.3%, P < 0.001). Thematic analysis identified performance-enhancing strategies, stemming from anticipating challenges, planning solutions, and ensuring team's shared mental model. CONCLUSIONS High-quality CPR may be achievable during pediatric interhospital transport. Certain transport-specific strategies may enhance resuscitation quality. Learners' performance improved with simulation and transport experience, highlighting ongoing education's role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing. The 2023 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort in 2022 by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. The American Heart Association strives to further understand and help heal health problems inflicted by structural racism, a public health crisis that can significantly damage physical and mental health and perpetuate disparities in access to health care, education, income, housing, and several other factors vital to healthy lives. This year's edition includes additional COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) publications, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Resuscitation events in pediatric critical and emergency care are high risk, and strong leadership is an important component of an effective response. The Concise Assessment of Leadership Management (CALM) tool, designed to assess the strength of leadership skills during pediatric crises, has shown promising validity and reliability in simulated settings. The objective of this study was to generate further validity and reliability evidence for the CALM by applying it to real-life emergency events. METHODS A prospective, video-based study was conducted in an academic pediatric emergency department. Three reviewers independently applied the CALM tool to the assessment of pediatric emergency department physicians as they led both a cardiac arrest and a sepsis event. Time to critical event (epinephrine, fluid, and antibiotic administration) was collected via video review. Based on Kane's framework, we conducted fully crossed, person × event × rater generalizability (G) and decision (D) studies. Interrater reliability was calculated using Gwet AC 2 and intraclass correlation coefficients. Time to critical events was correlated with CALM scores using Spearman coefficient. RESULTS Nine team leaders were assessed in their leadership of 2 resuscitations each. The G coefficient was 0.68, with 26% subject variance, 20% rater variance, and no case variance. Thirty-three percent of the variance (33%) was attributed to third-order interactions and unknown factors. Gwet AC 2 was 0.3 and intraclass correlation was 0.58. The CALM score and time to epinephrine correlated at -0.79 ( P = 0.01). The CALM score and time to fluid administration correlated at -0.181 ( P = 0.64). CONCLUSIONS This study provides additional validity evidence for the CALM tool's use in this context if used with multiple raters, aligning with data from the previous simulation-based CALM validity study. Further development may improve reliability. It also serves as an exemplar of the rigors of conducting validity work within medical simulation.

Abstract
Background Although the outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is still unsatisfactory, there are few studies about temporal trends of in-hospital CPR incidence and mortality. We aimed to evaluate nationwide trends of in-hospital CPR incidence and its associated risk factors and mortality in pediatric patients using a database of the Korean National Health Insurance between 2012 and 2018. Methods and Results We excluded neonates and neonatal intensive care unit admissions. Incidence of in-hospital pediatric CPR was 0.58 per 1000 admissions (3165 CPR/5 429 471 admissions), and the associated mortality was 50.4%. Change in CPR incidence according to year was not significant in an adjusted analysis (P=0.234). However, CPR mortality increased significantly by 6.6% every year in an adjusted analysis (P<0.001). Hospitals supporting pediatric critical care showed 37.7% lower odds of CPR incidence (P<0.001) and 27.5% lower odds of mortality compared with other hospitals in the adjusted analysis (P<0.001), and they did not show an increase in mortality (P for trend=0.882). Conclusions Temporal trends of in-hospital CPR mortality worsened in Korea, and the trends differed according to subgroups. Study results highlight the need for ongoing evaluation of CPR trends and for further CPR outcome improvement among hospitalized children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Annually in England, over 1.5 million children and young people (CYP) are admitted to hospital. However, a proportion of these CYP will experience failure to rescue (FtR), a failure to recognize, respond and escalate clinical deterioration, which can result in significant harm or death. AIM To identify and quantify FtR episodes from emergency events at a 110-bedded tertiary children's hospital located within a University Teaching Hospital and evaluate the impact of targeted interventions on reducing FtR. METHODS A quality improvement approach was adopted. From 170 446 patients admitted between 2011 and 2019, all emergency event calls were systematically reviewed to identify FtR episodes. Root-cause analysis was performed to identify practice deficiencies. The Plan-Do-Study-Act fundamentals were used. RESULTS A total of 520 emergency events were reviewed over the 9-year period. One hundred and thirty-two (n = 132; 25%) were cardiac arrest events, with the majority occurring within the PCCU setting. Three hundred and twelve (60%) of the events were in children who had been inpatient for more than 48 hours. FtR trend declined over the study period from 23.6% in 2011 when the project commenced to 2.5% or less over the following 8 years. CONCLUSIONS Identifying rates of FtR events from routinely collected emergency events data can be used as a patient safety measure to identify emergency concerns. This enables dynamic problem solving through delivery of strategic and targeted interventions. The proposed interventions outlined in this quality improvement study have application to critical care nursing as mechanisms for reducing unplanned admissions to paediatric critical care unit (PCCU), patient mortality, and PCCU and non-PCCU cardiac arrests. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This study emphasises the importance in understanding the antecedence of emergency events for paediatric inpatient populations. This intelligence can be used to direct targeted interventions to significantly reduce failure to rescue rates.

Abstract
AIM To analyze whether brain connectivity sequences including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) identify vulnerable brain regions and networks associated with neurologic outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest. METHODS Children aged 2 d-17 y with cardiac arrest were enrolled in one of 2 parent studies at a single center. Clinically indicated brain MRI with DTI and rsfMRI and performed within 2 weeks after arrest were analyzed. Tract-wise fractional anisotropy (FA) and axial, radial, and mean diffusivity assessed DTI, and functional connectivity strength (FCS) assessed rsfMRI between outcome groups. Unfavorable neurologic outcome was defined as Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score 4-6 or change > 1 between 6 months after arrest vs baseline. RESULTS Among children with DTI (n = 28), 57% had unfavorable outcome. Mean, radial, axial diffusivity and FA of varying direction of magnitude in the limbic tracts, including the right cingulum parolfactory, left cingulum parahippocampal, corpus callosum forceps major, and corpus callosum forceps minor tracts, were associated with unfavorable neurologic outcome (p < 0.05). Among children with rsfMRI (n = 12), 67% had unfavorable outcome. Decreased FCS in the ventromedial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, insula, precentral gyrus, anterior cingulate, and inferior parietal lobule were correlated regionally with unfavorable neurologic outcome (p < 0.05 Family-Wise Error corrected). CONCLUSION Decreased multimodal connectivity measures of paralimbic tracts were associated with unfavorable neurologic outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest. Longitudinal analysis correlating brain connectivity sequences with long term neuropsychological outcomes to identify the impact of pediatric cardiac arrest in vulnerable brain networks over time appears warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Arterial diastolic blood pressure (DBP) greater than 25 mm Hg in infants and greater than 30 mm Hg in children greater than 1 year old during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was associated with survival to hospital discharge in one prospective study. We sought to validate these potential hemodynamic targets in a larger multicenter cohort. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Eighteen PICUs in the ICU-RESUScitation prospective trial from October 2016 to March 2020. PATIENTS Children less than or equal to 18 years old with CPR greater than 30 seconds and invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring during CPR. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Invasive BP waveform data and Utstein-style CPR data were collected, including prearrest patient characteristics, intra-arrest interventions, and outcomes. Primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge, and secondary outcomes were return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. Multivariable Poisson regression models with robust error estimates evaluated the association of DBP greater than 25 mm Hg in infants and greater than 30 mm Hg in older children with these outcomes. Among 1,129 children with inhospital cardiac arrests, 413 had evaluable DBP data. Overall, 85.5% of the patients attained thresholds of mean DBP greater than or equal to 25 mm Hg in infants and greater than or equal to 30 mm Hg in older children. Initial return of circulation occurred in 91.5% and 25% by placement on extracorporeal membrane oxygenator. Survival to hospital discharge occurred in 58.6%, and survival with favorable neurologic outcome in 55.4% (i.e. 94.6% of survivors had favorable neurologic outcomes). Mean DBP greater than 25 mm Hg for infants and greater than 30 mm Hg for older children was significantly associated with survival to discharge (adjusted relative risk [aRR], 1.32; 1.01-1.74; p = 0.03) and ROSC (aRR, 1.49; 1.12-1.97; p = 0.002) but did not reach significance for survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome (aRR, 1.30; 0.98-1.72; p = 0.051). CONCLUSIONS These validation data demonstrate that achieving mean DBP during CPR greater than 25 mm Hg for infants and greater than 30 mm Hg for older children is associated with higher rates of survival to hospital discharge, providing potential targets for DBP during CPR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Differences between adult and pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) are well-described. Although most adults are cared for on adult services, pediatric services often admit adults, particularly those with chronic conditions. The objective of this study is to describe IHCA in adults admitted to pediatric services. DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis from the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry of a subpopulation of adults with IHCA while admitted to pediatric services. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate adjusted survival outcomes and compare outcomes between age groups (18-21, 22-25, and ≥26 yr old). SETTING Hospitals contributing to the Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry. PATIENTS Adult-aged patients (≥ 18 yr) with an index pulseless IHCA while admitted to a pediatric service from 2000 to 2018. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 491 adult IHCAs were recorded on pediatric services at 17 sites, during the 19 years of review, and these events represented 0.1% of all adult IHCAs. In total, 221 cases met inclusion criteria with 139 events excluded due to an initial rhythm of bradycardia with poor perfusion. Median patient age was 22 years (interquartile range, 19-28 yr). Ninety-eight percent of patients had at least one pre-existing condition. Return of spontaneous circulation occurred in 63% of events and 30% of the patients survived to discharge. All age groups had similar rates of survival to discharge (range 26-37%; p = 0.37), and survival did not change over the study period (range 26-37%; p = 0.23 for adjusted survival to discharge). CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of adults with IHCA while admitted to a pediatric service, we failed to find an association between survival outcomes and age. Additional research is needed to better understand resuscitation in this population.

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
Children presenting with acute myocarditis may experience rapid clinical deterioration requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); however, our understanding of best practices and timing of ECMO initiation are lacking. We explored the relationships between pre-cannulation factors and survival in this high-acuity patient population. DESIGN Retrospective review of a large international registry. Primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge, stratified by incident cardiac arrest (CA) prior to ECMO and time to cannulation after intubation. SETTING AND SUBJECTS The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry was queried for patients less than or equal to 18 years old receiving ECMO support for myocarditis between 2007 and 2018. Exclusion criteria included being nonindex runs, non-venoarterial ECMO or missing data points for main variables studied. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Population characteristics and survival were compared using t test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, or Fisher exact test. Multivariable logistic regression was used for significant factors in the unadjusted logistic regression. Among 506 index ECMO runs in pediatric patients with myocarditis, survival for the cohort was 72%, with no difference between early and late eras (2007-2012 vs 2013-2018; p = 0.69). Survivors demonstrated higher pre-ECMO pH levels as well as shorter intubation-to-cannulation (ITC) times (3 hr [interquartile range (IQR)], 1-14 hr vs 6 hr [IQR, 2-20 hr]; p = 0.021). CA occurred within 24 hours prior to ECMO cannulation, including extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, in 54% of ECMO runs (n = 273). Accounting for the interaction between pre-ECMO CA occurrence and ITC time, longer ITC time remained associated with lower survival for patients who did not experience a CA prior to ECMO, with adjusted odds ratio of 0.09 (IQR, 0.02-0.40; p = 0.002) for ITC time greater than or equal to 18 hours. CONCLUSIONS The results of this multicenter analysis of ECMO utilization and outcomes for pediatric myocarditis suggest that patients approaching ECMO cannulation who have not experienced CA may have better survival outcomes if cannulated onto ECMO early after intubation.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an adjunct supportive therapy to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) employing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in the setting of refractory cardiac arrest. Its use has seen a significant increase in the past decade, providing hope for good functional recovery to patients with cardiac arrest refractory to conventional resuscitation maneuvers. This review paper aims to summarize key findings from the ECPR literature available to date as well as the recommendations for ECPR set forth by leading national and international resuscitation societies. Additionally, we describe the successful pediatric ECPR program at Texas Children's Hospital, highlighting the logistical, technical and educational features of the program.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest still accounts for a substantial proportion of cardiovascular related deaths and is associated with a tremendous risk of neurological injury and, among the few survivors, poor quality of life. Critical determinants of survival and long‐term functional status after cardiac arrest are timely initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of an external defibrillator for patients with a shockable rhythm. Outcomes are still far from satisfactory, despite ongoing efforts to improve cardiac arrest response systems, as well as elaborate postresuscitation algorithms. Targeted temperature management at the wide range between 32 °C and 36 °C has been one of the main therapeutic strategies to improve neurological outcome in postresuscitation care. This recommendation has been mainly based on 2 small randomized trials that were published 20 years ago. Most recent data derived from the TTM2 (Targeted Hypothermia Versus Targeted Normothermia After Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest) trial, which included 1861 patients, challenge this strategy. It showed no benefit of targeted hypothermia at 33 °C over normothermia at 36 °C to 37.5 °C with fever prevention. Because temperature management at lower temperatures also correlated with an increased risk of side effects without any benefit in the TTM2 trial, a modification of the guidelines with harmonizing temperature management to normothermia might be necessary.

Abstract
This article aims to provide guidance to health care workers for the provision of basic and advanced life support to children and neonates with suspected or confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It aligns with the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular care while providing strategies for reducing risk of transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 to health care providers. Patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 and cardiac arrest should receive chest compressions and defibrillation, when indicated, as soon as possible. Because of the importance of ventilation during pediatric and neonatal resuscitation, oxygenation and ventilation should be prioritized. All CPR events should therefore be considered aerosol-generating procedures. Thus, personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate for aerosol-generating procedures (including N95 respirators or an equivalent) should be donned before resuscitation, and high-efficiency particulate air filters should be used. Any personnel without appropriate PPE should be immediately excused by providers wearing appropriate PPE. Neonatal resuscitation guidance is unchanged from standard algorithms, except for specific attention to infection prevention and control. In summary, health care personnel should continue to reduce the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 transmission through vaccination and use of appropriate PPE during pediatric resuscitations. Health care organizations should ensure the availability and appropriate use of PPE. Because delays or withheld CPR increases the risk to patients for poor clinical outcomes, children and neonates with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 should receive prompt, high-quality CPR in accordance with evidence-based guidelines.
