Paediatric Traumatic Cardiac Arrest - reviews to inform a modified Delphi consensus on management
Prior to the launch of the online modified Delphi study to derive a consensus on how we should manage children who have a had a traumatic cardiac arrest, a number of literature reviews were undertaken on potential steps in any algorithm to assess the volume and quality of evidence. A number of these have now made it onto the Best BETs website, and can be accessed by clicking on the titles below:
