AB  - In  contrast  to  cardiopulmonary  arrest  in  adults,  most  incidences  of  cardiopulmonary  arrest  in  children  are  preceded  by  respiratory  failure  including  hypoxia  and  hypercarbia.  A  number  of  conditions  can  lead  to  respiratory  failure  followed  by  cardiac  arrest,  including  sepsis,  respiratory  disease,  submersion,  trauma,  electrolyte  and  metabolic  abnormalities,  and  sudden  infant  death  syndrome  (SIDS).  Although  the  conditions  represent  the  minority  of  incidences,  spontaneous  cardiac  arrests  with  initial  rhythms  of  ventricular  fibrillation  (VF)  and  ventricular  tachycardia  (VT)  not  preceded  by  any  apparent  illness  also  can  occur.
