    Journal: Zhonghua Er Ke Za Zhi; 2013 Feb; 51(2):141-4. PubMed ID: 23527982.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the weak loop in the treatment of children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and the treatment strategy for improvement. METHOD: Data of a total of 133 patients with OHCA who were rescued by Wuxi pre-hospital care center during the 2005 - 2011 were analyzed. RESULT: The main causes of pediatric OHCA were drowning (52/133) and accidental injury disease (30/133). The cases of OHCA were mainly located in public places (60/133) and the majority occurred in winter and summer. The emergency rescue response time was (13.21 ± 8.09) min, the rate of first witness treatment was 3.91%, intubations was performed in 11.11%, opening of vein access was 23.15% and one case got restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). CONCLUSION: The rate of ROSC of pre-hospital cardiac arrest in children was significantly lower than that of hospital cardiac arrest. Preventive interventions on children's accidents and the skills of pre-hospital staff on pediatric advanced life support (PALS) need to be urgently improved.
