PY - 2020 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 9e AB - The resuscitation of children differs from that of adults in a number of important ways. Respiratory failure and shock are more common causes of arrest among children and infants than adults; hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis subsequently lead to bradycardia, hypotension, and secondary cardiac arrest in children. Overall survival and neurologically favorable survival rates in children are 11.3% and 9.1%, respectively, in the United States.1 Survival rates to discharge after resuscitation from cardiac arrest are greatest among perinatal children (25%) and adolescents (17.3%).2 Infancy, unwitnessed arrest, and initial asystolic rhythm are associated with poor survival rates. The best chance for a good outcome is to recognize impending respiratory failure or shock and intervene to prevent the development of cardiopulmonary arrest.
