Chest compression rates and pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest survival outcomes.

Abstract Aim The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the association between chest compression rates and 1) arterial blood pressure and 2) survival outcomes during pediatric in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods Prospective observational study of children ≥37 weeks gestation and 120–140, >140) and outcomes. Results Compression rate data were available for 164 patients. More than half (98/164; 60%) were 120–140, p = 0.010; >140, p = 0.077), but not survival. A rate between 80- Conclusion Non-compliance with compression rate Guidelines was common in this multicenter cohort. Among ICU patients, slightly lower rates were associated with improved outcomes compared to Guidelines.
