Over the last 15 years, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has improved from less than 50% to more than 80%, and survival to hospital discharge has improved from 14% to more than 40% (Table 1). However, survival after paediatric out-of-hospital CA (OHCA) remains low at 4–13%. Early recognition and rapid response to pre-arrest conditions, high quality first responder cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), goal-directed CPR and post-resuscitative care, and extracorporeal support of circulation for special reversible cardiac arrest conditions offer great promise for further improved survival and quality of life outcomes.

Bystander CPR
|
Improves survival after OHCA in children
|
|||
Physiological directed CPR
|
CPP to target during IHCA with arterial line and CVP line in situ
|
No absolute level known in children or adults but reasonable to aim for [6]:
CPP > 25 mmHg
(adult guidelines suggest > 20 mmHg)
|
||
DBP to target during IHCA with arterial line in situ
|
No absolute level known in children or adults but reasonable to aim for [6]:
DBP > 25–30 mmHg
(adult guidelines suggest > 25 mmHg)

Adrenaline use
|
Adrenaline for OHCA in children
|
No evidence in children but best given early
|
||
Adrenaline timing IHCA in children
|
Time to first adrenaline dose is important and should be as soon as CA with non-shockable rhythm noted and intravascular access secured; 1 min within start CPR ideal [9]
|
|||
Adrenaline interval dosing in children in IHCA
|
A recent study appears to indicate that giving adrenaline every 4 min may be too frequently and intervals of 8–10 min may be preferable [11]

ECPR
|
Use of ECPR in children
|
Consider for children with IHCA resistant to C-CPR (defined as ≥ 10 min) with a potentially reversible cause for the arrest at centres where expertise and equipment available [13]

TTM post CA
|
TTM after OHCA in children
|
Maintenance of controlled normothermia or hypothermia, with strict avoidance of fever is important; the length of time is unclear [15]
