Association Between Chest Compression Pause Duration and Survival After Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

CONCLUSIONS: Each 5-second increment in longest CC pause duration during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest was associated with lower chance of survival with favorable neurological outcome, survival to hospital discharge, and return of spontaneous circulation. Any CC pause >10 seconds or >20 seconds and number of pauses >10 seconds and >20 seconds were significantly associated with lower adjusted probability of return of spontaneous circulation, but not survival or neurological outcomes.PMID:38563137 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.066882
