Abstract: | Outcomes from pediatric cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) seem to be incrementally improving. The past 2 decades have brought advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation, better treatment strategies, and a more robust standard for CPR epidemiology and research reporting. The evolution of practice based on an improved understanding of the pathophysiology and timing, intensity, duration, and variability of the hypoxic-ischemic insult should lead to goal-directed therapy gated to the phase of cardiac arrest and the postarrest period encountered. By strategically focusing therapies to specific phases of cardiac arrest and resuscitation and to the evolving pathophysiology and by implementing evidence-based practice, there is great promise that critical care interventions can lead the way to more successful cardiopulmonary and cerebral resuscitation in children. |
