Do resuscitation attempts in children who die, cause injury?
This study has shown that cardiopulmonary resuscitation commonly causes minor injuries such as superficial bruises and abrasions and the likelihood of such injury increases with the duration of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This information should reassure parents and caregivers that basic life support may be instituted without fear of causing significant injury or adversely affecting outcome in the child with cardiorespiratory arrest. Caution must be exercised when attributing significant injuries to resuscitation attempts and alternative causes must be fully investigated.
These results suggest that SSRO, either with or without Le Fort I osteotomy, could not change the preoperative disc position or correct anterior disc displacement, although these procedures did improve the symptoms associated with TMJ dysfunction.
