Is End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Indicative of Chest Compression Quality in Pediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest? A Video Review Study
In our small, single-center study, we found ETCO<sub>2</sub> was minimally associated with compression rate but not depth or CCF and overall may be of limited utility in evaluating CC quality in pediatric OHCA. Our study was limited by the lack of optimal CC quality and unknown downtime.
