What do we seek to understand?
- General clinical characteristics of the patient.
- Procedure and anesthetic technique related to the event.
- Perioperative timing, initial rhythm and probable cause.
- Resuscitation, known outcome and contributing factors.
REASEL INITIATIVE · EXPLORATORY SURVEY
Characterizing cardiac arrest in pediatric perioperative care
We seek a general understanding of which patients experience these events, when they occur, their probable causes or mechanisms, and their outcomes.
One response represents one directly treated event.
3–4 minutesPatients under 18No directly identifying data requested
Purpose and scope
An initial regional description, not a measurement of frequency.
Available information mainly comes from registries and health systems that may not fully represent clinical and care conditions in Latin America. REASEL promotes this survey to identify patterns that can guide subsequent research, education and care-improvement projects.
Who can participate?
Anesthesiology professionals who directly participated in treating a perioperative cardiac arrest in a patient under 18.
To report another case, complete the survey again.
What cannot be concluded?
- Does not calculate incidence or prevalence.
- Is not a census or population registry.
- Does not compare hospitals, states, countries or professionals.
- Does not establish causality.
Information and privacy
Voluntary participation and aggregate analysis.
The survey does not request names, email addresses, hospitals, cities, record numbers or exact dates. Do not include information identifying the patient, professional or institution.
REASEL coordinates this initiative and uses Typeform to receive responses. Results will be analyzed and communicated exclusively in aggregate form.

Findings will describe only the reported cases, not the frequency of cardiac arrest in the population.
