Diseases which result in respiratory failure or hypotension are the most common cause of cardiac arrest in children. Whereas heart diseases are the most common cause of cardiac arrest in adults, they are uncommon cause in children. Accidents are the most common cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Prompt and skilled resuscitation efforts are important for favourable resuscitation outcome. This article provides guidelines for resuscitation in children from one month of age for health care providers. They are mainly based of recently published International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) guidelines on resuscitation in children.

Department of Surgery, Division of Congenital Cardiac Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, WA.
Background: While several studies have reported on outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with single ventricle physiology, few studies have described outcomes of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in this unique population. The objective of this study was to determine survival and risk factors for mortality after ECPR in single ventricle patients prior to superior cavopulmonary anastomosis, using a large sample from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry.
Methods: We included single ventricle patients who underwent ECPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) between January 2012 and December 2021.

Objective: To explore the impact of mild hypercapnia or normocapnia on the prognosis of patients after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following cardiac arrest (CA).
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the guidelines in the PROSPERO report. Information was retrieved in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science to collect all publications in English from January 1, 2000, to March 1, 2024, involving post-CA with mild hypercapnia.

Introduction: Indications for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pediatric trauma continue to evolve. This study evaluates trends and practices in ECMO use for injured children and identifies factors associated with mortality using the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of children ≤18 years who underwent ECMO therapy following trauma, recorded in the NTDB from 2007 to 2018.
Contemporary Use of Post-Dilatation for Stent Optimization During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention; Results From the Netherlands Heart Registration.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
January 2025
Heart Centre, Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
Backgrounds: Post-dilatation after stenting with a non-compliant (NC) balloon can be used to improve overall percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) result. Due to lack of evidence on the effect of post-dilatation on adverse clinical endpoints there is no consensus whether post-dilatation should be used routinely. The aim of the current study was to determine the contemporary practice of post-dilatation.
