Clinician-Reported Physiologic Monitoring of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality During Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Propensity-Weighted Cohort Study

The primary objective was to determine the association between clinician-reported use of end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to monitor cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (pIHCA) and survival outcomes.Design: A retrospective cohort study was performed in two cohorts: 1) Patients with an invasive airway in place at the time of arrest to evaluate ETCO2 use, and 2) patients with an arterial line in place at the time of arrest to evaluate DBP use.
