Description

<p>The effect of post-cardiac arrest care in children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has not been adequately established, and the long-term outcome after pediatric OHCA has not been sufficiently investigated. We describe here detailed in-hospital characteristics, actual management, and survival, including neurological status, 90 days after OHCA occurrence in children with OHCA transported to critical care medical centers (CCMCs).</p><p>We analyzed the database of the Comprehensive Registry of Intensive Care for OHCA Survival (CRITICAL) study, which is a multicenter, prospective observational data registry designed to accumulate both pre- and in-hospital data on OHCA treatments. We enrolled all consecutive pediatric patients aged <18 years who had an OHCA and for whom resuscitation was attempted and who were transported to CCMCs between 2012 and 2016.</p><p>A total of 263 pediatric patients with OHCA were enrolled. The average age of the patients was 6.3 years, 38.0% were aged < 1 year, and 60.8% were male. After hospital arrival, 4.9% of these pediatric patients received defibrillation; 1.9%, extracorporeal life support; 6.5%, target temperature management; and 88.2% adrenaline administration. The proportions of patients with 90-day survival and a pediatric cerebral performance category (PCPC) score of 1 or 2 were 6.1% and 1.9%, respectively. The proportion of patients with a PCPC score of 1 or 2 at 90 days after OHCA occurrence did not significantly improve during the study period.</p><p>The proportion of pediatric patients with a 90-day PCPC score of 1 or 2 transported to CCMCs was extremely low, and no significant improvements were observed during the study period.</p>
