Description
Summary:This comprehensive review thoroughly examines post-resuscitation care in pediatric ICUs (PICUs) following cardiac arrest. The analysis encompasses adherence to resuscitation guidelines, advances in therapeutic interventions, and the nuanced management of neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory considerations during the immediate post-resuscitation phase. Delving into the complexities of long-term outcomes, cognitive and developmental considerations, and rehabilitation strategies, the review emphasizes the importance of family-centered care for pediatric survivors. A call to action is presented, urging continuous education, research initiatives, and quality improvement efforts alongside strengthened multidisciplinary collaboration and advocacy for public awareness. Through implementing these principles, healthcare providers and systems can collectively contribute to ongoing advancements in pediatric post-resuscitation care, ultimately improving outcomes and fostering a culture of excellence in pediatric critical care.
