Article Synopsis
- Whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) is used to screen pediatric patients following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) without prior return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
- A study analyzed 27 pediatric patients to assess the causes of OHCA and compare CT findings between those who achieved ROSC and those who did not, revealing significant differences in CT results.
- While no direct cause of OHCA was found in the WBCT, the non-ROSC group showed more concerning findings, which could help guide decisions about resuscitation efforts in similar cases.
