This is referred to as CPR I nduced C onsciousness ( CPRIC ). The Impact of Prehospital Intubation with and Without Sedation on Outcome in Trauma Patients With a GCS of 8 or Less.

1,2 Clinical outcomes in submersion injuries are largely dependent on the degree of hypoxic injury experienced by the victim, making prehospital care of paramount importance. Optimally, bystander CPR, including the administration of rescue breaths, should be initiated prior to arrival of emergency medical services. pediatric hospitals.
Prolonged CPR should be considered as outcomes are generally good, even if asystole is the presenting rhythm. The high voltage can cause direct thermal injuries, as well as mechanical injuries from falls or secondary trauma. In most paediatric cardiac arrests, the primary cause is respiratory – not so in cases of electrocution.
