TL;DR: The International Guidelines 2000 Conference on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC) formulated new evidenced-based recommendations for neonatal resuscitation, comprehensively update the last recommendations published in 1992.

TL;DR: In this paper, a trial of two targeted temperature interventions at 38 children's hospitals involving children who remained unconscious after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was conducted, and the primary efficacy outcome, survival at 12 months after cardiac arrest with a Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, second edition (VABS-II), score of 70 or higher (on a scale from 20 to 160, with higher scores indicating better function), was evaluated among patients with at least 70 before cardiac arrest.

TL;DR: The 2005 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care (ECC) of the pediatric patient and the 2005 American Academy of Pediatrics/AHA guidelines for CPR and ECC of the neonate are presented.

TL;DR: This publication contains the pediatric and neonatal sections of the 2005 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations (COSTR), the largest evaluation of resuscitation literature ever published.

TL;DR: Many factors are associated with hospital mortality among children after in-hospital cardiac arrest and return of circulation, and such factors must be considered when designing a trial of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest in pediatric patients.
