Dumas F, Grimaldi D, Zuber B, et al. N Engl J Med 2019;381:285-286. Pediatric targeted temperature management post cardiac arrest: Consensus on Science With Treatment Recommendations.

Circulation 2011;124:2158-2177.

Response intervals are inherently longer for OHCA, as are the times to initiation of CPR, airway management, pharmacological therapies, and defibrillation. Association between tracheal intubation during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest and survival. Experiences of surviving a cardiac arrest after therapeutic hypothermia treatment.

Life support techniques related to survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in infants. This table represents the relationships of reviewers that may be perceived as actual or reasonably perceived conflicts of interest as reported on the Disclosure Questionnaire, which all reviewers are required to complete and submit. The primary outcome was survival with a favorable neurologic outcome, assessed on day 90 after randomization with the use of the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale (which ranges from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater disability).

The writing group analyzed the systematic reviews and the original research published for each of these topics. Mongardon N, Dumas F, Ricome S, et al.

Therapeutic hypothermia and outcomes in paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a nationwide observational study. Applying Class of Recommendation and Level of Evidence to Clinical Strategies, Interventions, Treatments, or Diagnostic Testing in Patient Care (Updated August 2015)*, It is important to note that this 2019 focused update to the AHA PALS guidelines re-evaluates only the recommendations for the use of advanced airway management during cardiac arrest, the use of ECPR during cardiac arrest, and the use of TTM after cardiac arrest.

Resuscitation 2014;85:1257-1262. However, very few studies focused on IHCA; these included 1 propensity-matched cohort study18 and 2 other cohort studies.23,27 Outcomes of traumatic and nontraumatic arrest could not be compared because published studies included only a small number of patients identified as having traumatic arrest. ICU denotes intensive care unit. The primary outcome was survival with a favorable day-90 neurologic outcome, which was assessed with the use of the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale (scores range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater disability). Temperature patterns in the early postresuscitation period after pediatric inhospital cardiac arrest.

In 2015, the ILCOR evidence evaluation process and the AHA development of guidelines updates transitioned to a continuous, simultaneous process, with systematic reviews performed as new published evidence warrants or when the ILCOR Pediatric Life Support Task Force prioritizes a topic. Intérêt de l’hypothermie thérapeutique dans l’arrêt cardiaque non choquable.
