ABSTRACT
B Introduction: b Although children have lower rates of infection and mortality from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in adaptations to resuscitation systems of care that extend to pediatrics. Cardiac arrest physiology, chest compression mechanics, CPR quality metrics, and post-arrest physiologic and quality of care metrics were similar between the two periods. B Conclusions: b In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, pediatric IHCA survival rates did not differ from the year prior, but functional status at hospital discharge was worse among survivors.
