Summary

This study tests a special breathing method (ventilation bundle) for children whose hearts stop beating in the hospital. The goal is to see if it helps more children survive and have better brain function. About 1,530 children who need CPR and a breathing tube will take part. The approach focuses on keeping the right breathing rate during CPR to improve outcomes.
