Primary Outcome
CARDIAC ARREST
The main outcome of the study was the number of deviations from PALS guidelines during the management of pediatric cardiac arrest, as measured by a 15-item checklist. For each item, a score of 1 point was assigned if a deviation (ie, delay, error, or omission) occurred, while zero was assigned if the action was correctly and timely performed. Scores ranged from 0 to 15, with lower the scores indicating fewer deviations from guidelines.
