Implications for practice and research

  • Prevention of cardiac arrest in high-risk children is feasible through implementation of low-cost technology independent quality improvement safety bundle.

  • Cardiac Arrest Prevention (CAP) safety bundle may reduce intrahospital cardiac arrests (IHCA) in high-risk patients admitted in the non-cardiac intensive care units (CICUs).

Context

Paediatric IHCA continues to have high morbidity and mortality, and despite advances in intensive care management it remains a significant problem, especially …
