AB  - Cardiac  arrest  is  defined  by  a  triad  of  derangements:PulselessnessApneaUnresponsivenessThis  state  leads  to  progressive  tissue  ischemia  and  organ  dysfunction,  which,  if  not  rapidly  corrected,  can  result  in  irreversible  deterioration  of  cardiac  and  neurologic  function.Cardiac  arrest  occurs  in  2%  to  6%  of  pediatric  patients  who  are  admitted  to  the  pediatric  intensive  care  unit.Cardiac  arrest  occurs  in  approximately  16,000  children  out  of  hospital  in  the  United  States  each  year.Because  of  the  relative  infrequency  of  out-of-hospital  events,  pediatric  resuscitations  are  not  common  for  providers  outside  of  the  pediatric  intensive  care  unit.There  continues  to  be  a  significant  difference  in  outcomes  (e.g.,  favorable  vs.  nonfavorable)  between  patients  with  in-hospital  vs.  out-of-hospital  events.
