Epidemiology and outcomes of pediatric cardiac arrest in a cardiovascular unit at a public hospital in Argentina

CONCLUSIONS: 4.1% of patients presented CRA, with a rate of 3.4 CRA per 1,000 patient-days. Survival at hospital discharge (n = 50) was 46%. Resuscitation > 6 min and the use of vasoactive drugs were independent predictors of mortality. At six months, 63% had normal neurological development for age.PMID:38507335 | DOI:10.24875/ACM.22000237
