Review Meta Analysis
Advanced airway interventions for paediatric cardiac arrest: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
To assess the use of advanced airway interventions (tracheal intubation (TI) or supraglottic airway (SGA) placement), compared with bag mask ventilation (BMV) alone, for resuscitation of children in cardiac arrest. ⋯ TI or SGA are not superior to BMV for resuscitation of children in cardiac arrest, but the overall certainty of evidence is low to very low. Well designed randomised efficacy trials are needed to address this important question.

Review Meta Analysis
Procalcitonin as a prognostic marker for outcomes in post-cardiac arrest patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
This study aimed to seek evidence for the usefulness of the procalcitonin as a prognostic blood biomarker for outcomes in post-cardiac arrest patients. ⋯ Overall, the findings suggested that an elevated procalcitonin level measured at 0-48 h of post-cardiac arrest syndrome was associated with poor outcomes.

Review Meta Analysis
Diagnostic performance of optic nerve sheath diameter for predicting neurologic outcome in post-cardiac arrest patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
We evaluated the diagnostic performance of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) for prediction of neurologic outcome in post-cardiac arrest patients and relative prediction performance according to ONSD measurement modality. ⋯ ONSD may be useful for predicting neurologic outcomes in post-cardiac arrest patients. Measuring the ONSD specifically using ocular ultrasound, application in patients with cardiac-origin cardiac arrest, and using the Glasgow-Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Categories for neurologic outcome evaluation are recommended for more accurately predicting neurologic outcomes.
