Quality of Pediatric Resuscitation in a Multicenter Collaborative: An Observational Study
This is a prospective, observational, multi-center cohort study of pediatric cardiac arrests.
The purpose of the study is to determine the association between chest compression mechanics
(rate, depth, flow fraction, compression release) and patient outcomes. In addition, the
investigators will determine the association of post cardiac arrest care with patient
outcomes.

Cardiac arrests in children are a major public health problem. Thousands of children each
year in the USA are treated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and managed after their
cardiac arrest. Neurological outcomes following these in-hospital CPR events are often
abnormal. As children with neurological deficits following CPR are a major burden for
families and society, improving neurological outcomes through superior chest compression
delivery during CPR and optimal care and management after cardiac arrest is an important
clinical goal.
Therefore, the objective of this investigation is to obtain evidentiary support to associate
the relationship of quantitative CPR quality data (depth, rate, chest compressions (CC)
fraction, compression release) during CPR, post-cardiac arrest care (PCAC) and patient
survival in those children who suffer an arrest within the study (RES-Q) Network.
