Patients who were younger than 18 years and had an in-hospital event that required chest compressions for &amp;gt;2 minutes were eligible. Patients were divided into 2 groups on the basis of initial rhythm and pulse state: bradycardia\/poor perfusion and asystole\/PEA. Patient characteristics, event characteristics, and clinical characteristics were analyzed as possible confounders. Univariate analysis between bradycardia and asystole\/PEA patient groups was performed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine whether an initial state of bradycardia\/poor perfusion was independently associated with survival to discharge.<\/jats:p><jats:p>RESULTS: A total of 6288 patients who were younger than 18 years were reported; 3342 met all inclusion criteria. A total of 1853 (55%) patients received chest compressions for bradycardia\/poor perfusion compared with 1489 (45%) for asystole\/PEA. Overall, 755 (40.7%) of 1353 patients with bradycardia survived to hospital discharge, compared with 365 (24.5%) of 1489 patients with asystole\/PEA. After controlling for known confounders, CPR for bradycardia with poor perfusion was associated with increased survival to hospital discharge.<\/jats:p><jats:p>CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric inpatients with chest compressions initiated for bradycardia and poor perfusion before onset of pulselessness were more likely to survive to discharge than pediatric inpatients with chest compressions initiated for asystole or PEA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2009-0727","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,17]],"date-time":"2009-11-17T01:34:38Z","timestamp":1258421678000},"page":"1541-1548","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":88,"title":["Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Bradycardia With Poor Perfusion Versus Pulseless Cardiac Arrest"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Aaron","family":"Donoghue","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Emergency Medicine"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care Medicine and Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert A.","family":"Berg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care Medicine and Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary Fran","family":"Hazinski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Surgery and Pediatrics, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy H.","family":"Praestgaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathryn","family":"Roberts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Critical Care Nursing, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vinay M.","family":"Nadkarni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care Medicine and Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"for the American Heart Association National Registry of CPR Investigators","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120905221585400_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"de Mos N, van Litsenburg RR, McCrindle B, Bohn DJ, Parshuram CS.
