In hospital, I don’t think this is going to change things a great deal. We know pediatric patients are much more likely to have respiratory etiologies to their arrest, and therefore may require a respiratory focus to their resuscitation. However, this paper never describes these patients, so I am not sure how to apply this to the patient in front of me.Īlso, these were all adult patients. It makes sense that these patients may require a different interventions, with more of a focus on airway and breathing. Looking at figure 1 in the study, of the 35,904 patients screened for enrollment, 1169 (3.3%) were excluded for asphyxia or an obvious respiratory cause of their arrest. Of these, “asphyxial cause of arrest” jumped out at me as being important.
