To describe a large cohort of children with out-of-hospital (OH) cardiac arrest with return of circulation (ROC) and to identify factors in the early post-arrest period associated with survival. These objectives were for planning an interventional trial of therapeutic hypothermia after pediatric cardiac arrest. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at 15 Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) clinical sites over an 18 month study period. All children 24 hours to 18 years of age with OH cardiac arrest and a history of at least 1 minute of chest compressions with ROC for at least 20 minutes were eligible. 138 cases met study entry criteria; the overall mortality was 62% (85/138). Event characteristics associated with increased survival were the following: weekend arrests, CPR not ongoing at hospital arrival, arrest rhythm not asystole, no atropine or NaHCO3, fewer epinephrine doses, shorter duration of CPR, and drowning or asphyxial arrest event. For the 0–12 hour post-arrest ROC period, absence of any vasopressor or inotropic agent (dopamine, epinephrine) use, higher lowest temperature recorded, greater lowest pH, lower lactate, lower maximum glucose and normal pupillary responses were all associated with survival. A multivariate logistic model of variables available at the time of arrest, which controlled for gender, age, race, asystole or ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia (VF/VT) anytime during the arrest, found the administration of atropine and epinephrine to be associated with mortality. A second model using additional information available up to 12 hours post ROC found 1) preexisting lung or airway disease, 2) etiology of arrest drowning or asphyxia, 3) higher pH and 4) bilateral reactive pupils to be associated with lower mortality. More than 3 doses of epinephrine were associated with poor outcome in 96% (44/46) of cases. Multiple factors were identified to be associated with survival after OH pediatric cardiac arrest with ROC. Additional information available within a few hours after ROC may diminish outcome associations of factors available at earlier times in regression models. These factors should be considered in the design of future interventional trials aimed to improve outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest.
