Over time, differences in survival and favorable neurologic outcomes between conventional and compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation have been gradually reduced in pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

I read with interest the article by Goto et al. [1] assessing whether bystander compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is equivalent to conventional CPR in children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The study reports that conventional CPR was associated with improved outcomes compared to compression-only CPR in the majority of the subgroups following pediatric (1 –17 years old) OHCA. However, I have some concerns about the conclusion of this article.
