Outcomes of in-hospital paediatric cardiac arrest from a tertiary hospital in a low-income African country.
CONCLUSION: Survival following in-hospital paediatric CA was zero, suggesting that CPR may have no benefit in this tertiary hospital. Future efforts to improve outcomes should focus on advocating better pre-arrest care and research interventions aimed to identify and treat children at risk of CA within the resource constraints of this setting.
