Abstract: | PurposeThe study aimed to determine the factors predictive of sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) of noncardiac origin.MethodsEighty children were included in this retrospective study. The variables that lead to sustained ROSC and those that do not lead to sustained ROSC were analyzed. Survival analyses, including chance of achieving sustained ROSC and sum duration of ROSC, were conducted according to the duration of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).ResultsEtiologies of noncardiac OHCA differed significantly across different age groups (P < .001). Only 8.8% of children had initial arrest rhythms that were shockable. Predictors of sustained ROSC included the initial cardiac rhythm (P = .002), a shorter period between collapse and the first chest compression (P = .002), a shorter in-hospital CPR duration (P = .004), and prehospital CPR (P = .007). In children where ROSC was initially sustained, those with in-hospital CPR of more than 20 minutes, ROSC was sustained for less time (P < .001).ConclusionsFew children with noncardiac OHCA present with shockable cardiac rhythms. Furthermore, long-term ROSC is difficult to maintain in children who receive in-hospital CPR for more than 20 minutes. |
