Over 20,000 children experience a cardiac arrest annually in the U.S., only 17-50% survive. There is massive variability in the quality of lifesaving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that children receive due to limited availability of pediatric specialized emergency resources, suppressing the survival rate. High quality CPR is performed to replace the function of the beating heart during a cardiac arrest, preventing the asphyxiation of the vital organs, while the inciting process can be investigated.
