Objetivo: analisar as ocorrências, respostas e desfechos da parada cardiorrespiratória pré-hospitalar segundo o Utstein Style e identificar os fatores associados à sobrevida. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, documental e transversal, com vítimas de parada cardiorrespiratória atendidas nas unidades de suporte avançado de vida, no ano de 2015. Coletaram-se os dados a partir dos relatórios de atendimento do socorrista, organizando-os e analisando-os de acordo com o Utstein Style. Apresentaram-se os resultados em forma de tabelas. Resultados: verificaram-se 163 atendimentos, predominando o sexo masculino, não havendo associação entre idade e os desfechos. Identificou-se a maioria das PCRs como sendo de causa clínica, na residência e em assistolia, sendo entubação orotraqueal, acesso venoso periférico e administração de adrenalina os procedimentos mais frequentes. Constatou-se que as ocorrências presenciadas por espectadores leigos e o tempo-resposta da ambulância demonstraram uma associação com o desfecho sobrevida. Calculou-se a taxa de sobrevida em 25,1%. Conclusão: avaliou-se o serviço por meio da análise das ocorrências segundo o Utstein Style e verificaram-se associações entre o desfecho e as lacunas no atendimento, havendo a necessidade de intervenções em cada elo da corrente de sobrevivência.

Method: this is a quantitative, documentary and cross-sectional study with victims of cardiopulmonary arrest treated at the advanced life support units in 2015. Data were collected from the rescuer's care reports and organized. and analyzing them according to Utstein Style. Results were presented in tables. Results: 163 cases were observed, predominantly male, with no association between age and outcomes. Most CRPs were identified as being of clinical cause, at home and in asystole, with orotracheal intubation, peripheral venous access and epinephrine administration being the most frequent procedures. It was found that the occurrences witnessed by lay spectators and the ambulance response time demonstrated an association with the survival outcome. The survival rate was calculated at 25.1%. Conclusion: the service was evaluated by analyzing the occurrences according to the Utstein Style and there were associations between the outcome and the gaps in care, requiring interventions in each link of the survival chain.

This consensus document is an attempt to provide an organized method of reporting pediatric ALS data in out-of-hospital, emergency department, and in-hospital settings. For this methodology to gain wide acceptance, the task force encourages development of a common data set for both adult and pediatric ALS interventions. In addition, every effort should be made to ensure that consistent definitions are used in all age groups. As health care changes, we will all be challenged to document the effectiveness of what we currently do and show how new interventions or methods of treatment improve outcome and/or reduce cost. Only through collaborative research will we obtain the necessary data. For these reasons, and to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes, it is the hope of the task force that clinical researchers will follow the recommendations in this document. It is recognized that further refinements of this statement will be needed; these recommendations will improve only when researchers, clinicians, and EMS personnel use them, work with them, and modify them. Suggestions, emendations, and other comments aimed at improving the reporting of pediatric resuscitation should be sent to Arno Zaritsky, MD, Eastern virginia Medical School, Children's Hospital of The King's Daughter, Division of Critical Care Medicine, 601 Children's Lane, Norfolk, VA 23507.

Objective The authors aim to compare all code blue events, regardless of the need for chest compressions, in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) versus the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). We hypothesize that code events in the two units differ, reflecting different disease processes. Study Design This is a retrospective analysis of 107 code events using the code narrator, which is an electronic medical record of real-time code documentation, from April 2018 to March 2019. Events were divided into two groups, NICU and PICU. Neonatal resuscitation program algorithm was used for NICU events and a pediatric advanced life-support algorithm was used for PICU events. Events and outcomes were compared using univariate analysis. The Mann–Whitney test and linear regressions were done to compare the total code duration, time from the start of code to airway insertion, and time from airway insertion to end of code event. Results In the PICU, there were almost four times more code blue events per month and more likely to involve patients with seizures and no chronic condition. NICU events more often involved ventilated patients and those under 2 months of age. The median code duration for NICU events was 2.5 times shorter than for PICU events (11.5 vs. 29 minutes), even when adjusted for patient characteristics. Survival to discharge was not different in the two groups. Conclusion Our study suggests that NICU code events as compared with PICU code events are more likely to be driven by airway problems, involve patients <2 months of age, and resolve quickly once airway is taken care of. This supports the use of a ventilation-focused neonatal resuscitation program for patients in the NICU. Key Points
