Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Pediatric cardiac arrest is not a single problem. Although most episodes of pediatric cardiac arrest occur as complications and progressions of respiratory failure and shock, sudden cardiac arrest may result from sudden arrhythmias. With better understanding of the epidemiology of pediatric cardiac arrest, clinicians can better tailor therapy to optimize outcome. |
