The Study of Success rate of CPR in 0-14 years Trauma Children who admitted to the Emergency of Khatam-Alanbia Hospital Zahedan, Iran 2016

Abstract

 Trauma emergencies of children are the main causes of permanent morbidity and mortality in this age group. CPR is a set of measures that is done to restore life after clinical death. The purpose of present research is to determine the success rate of CPR and its effective factors in trauma children who admitted to the emergency of Khatam-Alanbia hospital in Zahedan, 2016. This cross sectional study was conducted on all trauma children who suffered cardiac arrest during their hospitalization in the emergency of the hospital and underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Relevant information was extracted from medical records and designed and used resuscitation forms in the hospital and its relation with the success of resuscitation was studied. Information was analyzed by central and dispersion indices and statistical tests of chi- square and T- test. We studied 28 trauma children with mean age of 10.12 ± 3.42. The most common type of events that led to trauma in children was traffic accidents(35%) which followed by burns(25%). The highest number of individuals who were resuscitated was in 1-10 years age group with 35%(P<0.005). There was not a meaningful different between males and females in terms of success rate(P> 0.005). Obtained results showed that the presence of resuscitation team in the hospital and using it as soon as possible is the most important factor in the increases of resuscitation efficiency. Also immediate attention to trauma children who have not suffered cardio respiratory arrest is very important to increase the rate of resuscitation.
