Outcomes of Pediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Adherence to Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Guidelines Across a Spectrum of Fifty Emergency Departments: A Prospective, In Situ, Simulation‐based Study

“…Pediatric out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (p‐OHCA) survival rates to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcomes range from 10% to 20% . Outcomes are affected by a variety of factors including bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the quality of prehospital care provided, and the arrest and postarrest care these children subsequently receive in the emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit.…”

Specific Problems With Accidental Deaths in Japan – Cardiac Arrest From Hot Baths and Foreign Body Airway Obstruction in Elders –

“…Fortunately, survival with favorable neurological outcome in elderly individuals with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been improving in Japan, 1 as well as in the pediatric generation, especially at school. 2 Survival from OHCA is mainly dependent on whether it is witnessed or unwitnessed, initial shockable rhythm or not, and bystander CPR performed or not. These findings have been mainly obtained from endogenous cardiac arrest data.…”
