What this trial studies

This observational study aims to systematically record in-hospital cardiac arrests in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease in Germany. It will collect data on patient demographics, resuscitation efforts, post-resuscitation care, and neurological outcomes using a web-based registry. The study focuses on understanding the mortality and morbidity associated with cardiac arrests in this vulnerable population, particularly after heart surgery. By analyzing correlations between patient characteristics and outcomes, the study seeks to provide valuable insights into the care of these children.
