Pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality during intra-hospital transport.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To evaluate pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality during intra-hospital transport to facilitate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-CPR (ECPR). We compared chest compression (CC) rate, depth, and fraction (CCF) between the pre-transport and intra-transport periods.

Methods

Observational study of children <18 years with either in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who underwent transport between two care locations within the hospital for ECPR and who had CPR mechanics data available. Descriptive patient and arrest characteristics were summarized. The primary analysis compared pre- to intra-transport CC rate, depth, and fraction. A secondary analysis compared the proportion of pre- versus intra-transport 60-s epoc
