Aims: To determine which patient and cardiac arrest factors were associated with obtaining neuroimaging after in-hospital cardiac arrest, and among those patients who had neuroimaging, factors associated with which neuroimaging modality was obtained.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients who survived in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and were enrolled in the ICU-RESUS trial (NCT02837497).
Results: We tabulated ultrasound (US), CT, and MRI frequency within 7 days following IHCA and identified patient and cardiac arrest factors associated with neuroimaging modalities utilized.
Background: Tracheal intubation (TI)-associated cardiac arrest (TI-CA) occurs in 1.7% of pediatric ICU TIs. Our objective was to evaluate resuscitation characteristics and outcomes between cardiac arrest patients with and without TI-CA.

- The study focused on pediatric in-hospital CPR events, particularly those involving bradycardia with poor perfusion, to evaluate the effects of early epinephrine on survival outcomes in children.
- Researchers analyzed data from the ICU-RESUS trial, which involved CPR events that lasted 2 minutes or longer, examining the timing of epinephrine administration and the development of pulselessness.
- Findings indicated that early epinephrine did not significantly improve the chances of survival or favorable neurological outcomes, while a high percentage of patients experienced pulselessness within the first few minutes of CPR.
Objective: To evaluate the association of RBC transfusions with thrombosis in pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and compare this with the transfusion of other blood products and their association with thrombosis.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the Bleeding and Thrombosis during ECMO (BATE) study, which was a multicenter prospective observational study involving patients less than 19 years of age treated with ECMO.
Results: 514 patients were analyzed, of which 282 (55%) were neonates (≤31 days) and 302 (58.
Objectives: Data to support epinephrine dosing intervals during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are conflicting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between epinephrine dosing intervals and outcomes. We hypothesized that dosing intervals less than 3 minutes would be associated with improved neurologic survival compared with greater than or equal to 3 minutes.
