Context Cardiac arrests in adults are often due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulse-less ventricular tachycardia (VT), which are associated with better outcomes than asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Cardiac arrests in children are typically asystole or PEA.Objective To test the hypothesis that children have relatively fewer in-hospital cardiac arrests associated with VF or pulseless VT compared with adults and, therefore, worse survival outcomes.Design, Setting, and Patients A prospective observational study from a multicenter registry (National Registry of Cardiopulmonary, Resuscitation) of cardiac arrests in 253 US and Canadian hospitals between January 1, 2000, and March 30, 2004. A total of 36 902 adults (>= 18 years) and 880 children (
