ABSTRACT=<p>• Quality and outcome of pediatric resuscitation often does not achieve recommended goals.</p><p>• Quality improvement initiatives with the aim of better survival rates and decreased morbidity of resuscitated children are urgently needed.</p><p>• These initiatives should include an action framework for a comprehensive, fundamental, and interprofessional reorientation of clinical and organizational structures concerning resuscitation and post-resuscitation care of children.</p><p>• The authors of this DACH position statement suggest the implementation of 10 evidence-based actions (for out-of-hospital and in-house cardiac arrests) that should improve survival rates and decrease morbidity of resuscitated children with better neurological outcome and quality of life.</p>
