A study was undertaken in order to identify factors correlated with the outcome of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A total of 35 children who experienced a total of 41 cardiopulmonary arrests were included. Sixteen of 41 patients (39%) could not be resuscitated; 16/41 (39%) were resuscitated temporarily but did not survive to discharge; 9/41 (22%) survived to discharge. Patients arresting outside the hospital who received early basic CPR at the scene were significantly more likely to be resuscitated, at least temporarily, than those who did not (8/8 vs 5/11; P = 0.02). A statistically significant difference in outcome was also demonstrated between patients with an initial arterial blood pH greater than 7.0 and those with an initial arterial blood pH less than 7.0 (P less than 0.05). We conclude that an initial arterial blood pH less than 7.0 predicts a poor outcome from cardiopulmonary arrest in children. Access to early basic CPR may improve the initial pH and the ability of the patient to be resuscitated.
