Outcomes of pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest in the emergency department of a tertiary referral hospital in Tanzania: a retrospective cohort study
In our cohort of children with cardiac arrest, survival to hospital discharge was only 5%. Factors associated with 24-h survival were CPR events during the daytime, short duration of CPR, recognition of reversible causes of cardiac arrest, and receiving mechanical ventilation. Future studies should explore the detection of decompensation, the quality of CPR, and post-cardiac arrest care on the outcomes of IHCA.
