To examine the associations between ETCO2, ROSC, and chest compression quality markers in paediatric patients during active resuscitation. ⋯ This represents the largest collection of ETCO2 and chest compression data in paediatric patients to date and unadjusted analyses suggests an association between ETCO2 and ROSC in some paediatric patients.

Utilization of inpatient palliative care services (PCS) has been infrequently studied in patients with cardiac arrest complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI-CA). ⋯ Despite an increase in PCS use in AMI-CA, it remains significantly underutilized highlighting the role for further integrating of these specialists in AMI-CA care.

Review Meta Analysis
Delivery room CPAP in improving outcomes of preterm neonates in low-and middle-income countries: A Systematic review and network meta-analysis.
To study the impact of delivery room continuous positive airway pressure (DRCPAP) on outcomes of preterm neonates in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) by comparing with interventions: oxygen supplementation, late DRCPAP, DRCPAP with sustained inflation, DRCPAP with surfactant and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). ⋯ Present evidence is not sufficient for use of DRCPAP, but also did not show harm. Since it seems unlikely that there are marked variations in patient physiology to explain the difference in efficacy between high income countries and LMICs, we suggest future research evaluating other barriers in improving the effectiveness of DRCPAP in LMICs.
