- Cardiac arrest is usually a secondary cause in children
- Cardiac arrest often occurs due to the worsening of a patient’s condition until they can no longer compensate
Causes of Circulatory Failure
- Fluid loss
- Fluid redistribution
- Septic shock
- Cardiac disease
- Anaphylaxis
- Blood loss
- Gastroenteritis
- Burns
Causes of Respiratory Failure
- Respiratory distress
- Respiratory depression
- Croup
- Asthma
- Convulsions
- Poisoning
- Foreign body
