Cerebral Oximetry During Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Multicenter Study of Survival and Neurologic Outcome*

Crit Care MedPublished Multicentre observational study

Authors' conclusion

Higher crS o2 during pediatric IHCA was associated with increased rate of ROSC, SHD, and FNO.

Study context

Population
Children <18 years, gestational age ≥37 weeks, with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) receiving CPR ≥1 minute and intra-arrest crSo2 monitoring; 3 pediatric Resuscitation Quality (pediRES-Q) hospitals, 2015–2022123 CPR events
Participants
93 children
Exposure
Higher vs lower intra-arrest cerebral regional oxygen saturation
Outcome
ROSC ≥20 minutes without ECMO

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

ROSC ≥20 min without ECMO

Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) achieved

65%

80/123

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Secondary outcomes

Survival to hospital discharge (SHD) (index events)

SHD achieved
59% (54/91)

Favorable neurologic outcome (FNO) (PCPC 1-2 or no change from prearrest; index events)

FNO achieved
41% (37/91)
