Infants as Likely to Progress to Brain Death After OHCA as Children: Secondary Analysis PBDCA Study

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Charlene Pringle, a nurse practitioner and clinical researcher, talks about a study she conducted on infants and children who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The study aimed to determine if infants are less likely to progress to brain death compared to older children. The study utilized a prognostication tool called the Brain Death After Cardiac Arrest Score to assess outcomes. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the rate of progression to brain death between infants and children. However, prolonged duration of arrest was associated with progression to brain death in children but not in infants. The study highlights the need for age-specific prognostic tools for infants.
