Prearrest Care of Pediatric Dilated Cardiomyopathy or Myocarditis
Question Type:
Intervention
Digital Worksheet:
Open the Digital Worksheet to find more information on the development of this CoSTR.
Full Question:
For infants and children with myocarditis or dilated cardiomyopathy
and impending cardiac arrest (P), does does a specific approach (I), compared with compared with the usual management of shock or cardiac arrest (C), change Survival with Favorable neurological/functional outcome at discharge, 30 days, 60 days, 180 days AND/OR 1 year, survival to hospital discharge, Cardiac arrest frequency, ROSC (O)?
Consensus on Science:
For the critical outcome of survival to hospital discharge, we identified no evidence that a specific prearrest management strategy in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy or myocarditis shows a benefit. For the critical outcome of survival to hospital discharge, we identified no evidence that a specific anesthetic technique in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy shows any benefit. For the critical outcome of survival to hospital discharge, we identified very-low-quality evidence from a pediatric observational study (downgraded for risk of bias and imprecision)(Teele 2011, 638-643) of 20 children with acute fulminant myocarditis, which demonstrated that the pre–cardiac arrest use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be beneficial.
Treatment Recommendation:
The confidence in effect estimates is so low that the panel decided a specific recommendation was too speculative.
