A protocol for recording cardiopulmonary arrest (CRP) data in the in-hospital surgical block has been designed with the Utstein template model. The database is hosted in accordance with European legislation on patient data protection. Invitation to participate will be sent to Spanish hospitals in the first phase. Once this is over, participation in the registry will be opened to European hospitals. Survival and neurological outcome will be evaluated upon discharge from the surgical block. The study design is a prospective observational registry of a cohort of subjects who have suffered a CRP in the surgical block.
Patients will be enrolled by participating researchers from Spanish hospitals that have a pediatric surgery service, in addition to surgery on adult patients, who will collect and upload the data into a protected web-based electronic database. The recorded variables are grouped as follows: patient variables, hospital data, data prior to cardiopulmonary arrest (CRP), data from cardiopulmonary arrest (CRP), data after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). For the study, cardiorespiratory arrest (CRP) is defined as cardiac arrest for which resuscitation is attempted with chest compressions, defibrillation, or both. In the pediatric population it may include patients receiving chest compressions for poor perfusion in the setting of severe bradycardia. The inclusion criteria are: all patients older than 1 month who undergo sedation, anesthesia or monitored anesthetic surveillance performed by an anesthesiologist and suffer cardiorespiratory arrest in the surgical block. Subsequent episodes of cardiorespiratory arrest (CRP) in the same subject may be included. Exclusion criteria: hospitals that do not have a pediatric surgery service in their service portfolio, patients being treated with extracorporeal circulatory support (ECMO, extracorporeal circulation pump or ventricular assistance) at the time of cardiorespiratory arrest. Patients who suffer cardiac arrest and require any type of extracorporeal circulatory support for the recovery of spontaneous circulation after performing the corresponding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) will not be eliminated. The data collection period will be valid for 48 months, starting on June 1, 2025 and the last day being June 1, 2029.

OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
200
The intervention that we will carry out in both groups will consist of collecting data from the patient (age, sex and race), on cardiopulmonary arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Survival to discharge from the surgical block will be evaluated
We define survival upon discharge from the BQ as that patient with recovery of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest, who is discharged with signs of life to the hospital ward.
Time frame: From June 1, 2025 to June 1, 2029
Survival to hospital discharge with good neurological status
Neurological outcome at 30 days or at hospital discharge if it occurs before that period. Registers as Cerebral Performance Category (CPC), Pediatric CPC (PCPC), or modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, and can be measured face-to-face, telephone interview, or a combination. The PCC is a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (good brain performance) to 5 (dead). The PCPC is a scale that goes from 1 (good brain performance) to 6 (dead). The mRS is a scale that ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (dead). Survival with favorable neurological conditions is defined as a CPC of 1 or 2, mRS of 0 to 3, or no change in CPC or mRS with respect to the patient's pre-arrest status. Include a definition of how it was measured (face- to-face, extracted from notes, combination.
Time frame: From June 1, 2025 to June 1, 2029
