Multicenter Study
Epidemiology and aetiology of paediatric traumatic cardiac arrest in England and Wales.
To describe the epidemiology and aetiology of paediatric traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) in England and Wales. ⋯ Survival is possible from the resuscitation of children in TCA, with overall survival comparable to that reported in adults. The highest survival was observed in those with a pre-hospital only TCA, and those who were transported to an MTC. Early identification and aggressive management of paediatric TCA is advocated.
