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.
