Abstract

Cardiac arrest in children is more often due to hypoxaemia or circulatory shock, which may have been present for some time, than to cardiac causes (1). As a result, significant organ damage has already occurred by the time of circulatory collapse and survival is generally poor. Survival with a good neurological outcome from out-of-hospital arrest in children varies from 0–12% but outcomes of up to 25% of patients have been reported from in-hospital arrest of mixed aetiology (2). Perioperative cardiac arrest in paediatric cardiac surgical patients has a higher survival.
