“…The majority of pediatric arrests are asphyxial in origin, resulting from airway obstruction or failure of ventilation, with the most common pathophysiologic pathway being the progression from bradycardia with hypoperfusion to PEA and/or asystole. 2,[30][31][32] In this study, however, initial PEA rhythms were converted to VF rather than asystole during the cardiac arrest interval. This is in accordance with recent studies that show the incidence of VF as an initial outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest rhythm appears to be increasing, 1,11,[33][34][35][36][37] especially in children 9 to 17 years of age.…”

“…In this model of asphyxial CA we established that by the end of the 4 min of untreated arrest, VF occurred in six out of 10 piglets. Even though, the rhythms in paediatric CA were thought to be asystole and bradydysrhythmias, 64,65 Walsh and Krongrad 66 first noted that VF could occur as a terminal rhythm in all paediatric age groups.…”

“…Apenas 2% das vítimas de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar (RCP) intra-hospitalar no Reino Unido tinham de 0 a 14 anos de idade 14 . Parada cardíaca em crianças raramente é súbita; é tipicamente o resultado final da deterioração da função respiratória ou choque e o ritmo terminal mais freqüente é a bradicardia com progressão para dissociação eletromecânica ou assistolia 15,16 . Taquicardia ventricular e fibrilação têm sido descritas em 15% ou menos dos pacientes pediá-tricos e adolescentes vítimas de parada cardíaca pré-hospitalar 6,7 , até mesmo quando o ritmo cardíaco é avaliado precocemente 17,18 .…”

“…A avaliação precoce do ritmo para parada pediátrica pré-hospitalar não é freqüentemente descrita ou confiável. Na maioria dos estudos, taquicardia ventricular sem pulso ou fibrilação ventricular tem sido documentada em menos de 10% de todas as vítimas pediátricas de paradas 6,[15][16][17]38 , mesmo quando a vítima foi avaliada pelos primeiros socorristas dentro de 6,2min da chamada do serviço médico de emergência 7,18 . Em alguns estudos, fibrilação ventricular tratada precocemente com desfibrilação, tanto no local de ocorrência como no hospital, pode resultar em melhores taxas de sobrevivência do que aquelas tratadas para assistolia ou dissociação eletromecânica 20 .…”
