End-tidal carbon dioxide during pediatric in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Based on laboratory cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) investigations and limited adult data, the American Heart Association Consensus Statement on CPR Quality recommends titrating CPR performance to achieve end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) >20 mmHg.

Aims

We prospectively evaluated whether ETCO2 > 20 mmHg during CPR was associated with survival to hospital discharge.

Methods

Children ≥37 weeks gestation in Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network intensive care units with chest compressions for ≥1 min and ETCO2 monitoring prior to and during CPR between July 1, 2013 and June 31, 2016 were included. ETCO2 and Utstein-style cardiac arrest data were collected. Multivariable Poisson regression models with robust error estimates were used to estim
