Code Team Structure and Training in the Pediatric Resuscitation Quality International Collaborative.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Code team structure and training for pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest are variable. There are no data on the optimal structure of a resuscitation team. The objective of this study is to characterize the structure and training of pediatric code teams in sites participating in the Pediatric Resuscitation Quality Collaborative.

Methods

From May to July 2017, an anonymous voluntary survey was distributed to 18 sites in the international Pediatric Resuscitation Quality Collaborative. The survey content was developed by the study investigators and iteratively adapted by consensus. Descriptive statistics were calculated.

Results

All sites have a designated code team and hospital-wide code team activation system. Code team composition varies greatly across site
