Association between Time of Day and CPR Quality as Measured by CPR Hemodynamics during Pediatric In-hospital CPR

Patients who suffer in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) are less likely to survive if the arrest occurs during nighttime versus daytime. Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as a measure of chest compression quality was associated with survival from pediatric IHCA. We hypothesized that DBP during CPR for IHCA is lower during nighttime versus daytime.
