Characteristics of Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrests and Resuscitation Duration.

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,
