Epidemiology and outcomes of infants after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the neonatal or pediatric intensive care unit from a national registry.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in hospitalized infants is a relatively uncommon but high-risk event associated with mortality. The study objective was to identify factors associated with mortality and survival among infants who receive CPR in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
