Quality of Pediatric Resuscitation in a Multicenter Collaborative

Condition(s) studied

Study summary

This is a prospective, observational, multi-center cohort study of pediatric cardiac arrests.

The purpose of the study is to determine the association between chest compression mechanics (rate, depth, flow fraction, compression release) and patient outcomes. In addition, the investigators will determine the association of post cardiac arrest care with patient outcomes.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Aggregate score composed of American Heart Association (AHA) recommended depth, rate, and chest compression fraction during CPR — 10 Years
  Primary outcome: "Guideline-compliant CPR" which will be determined by an aggregate score comprised of the following three components: depth, rate, and chest compression fraction. The three components will be analyzed in 30 and 60 second epochs. "Guideline-compliant CPR" requires that each component meet the following criteria: 1) Age-determined American Heart Association (AHA) guideline recommended depth; 2) rate ≥ 90 and ≤ 120 CC/min; and 3) CC Fraction ≥ 0.80. Depth, rate, and CC Fraction will be calculated for each epoch and an aggregate score will be assigned. The primary analysis will be performed on that total score.
