This paper presents a review of the epidemiology, causes, diagnosis and management of cardiac arrestin children. In contrast to adults, cardiac arrest in children rarely results from a primary cardiac andsudden cause. It’s usually due to respiratory failure and/or shock. Therefore, early recognition of theseconditions and prompt treatment may prevent cardiac arrest and improve outcome of these patients.
