Editorial: Neonatal and Pediatric Cerebro-Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CCPR): Where Do We Stand and Where Are We Heading?

[摘要] An overwhelming response followed my inaugural article in Frontiers in Pediatric Critical Care in 2015, which focused on hypoxic ischemic injury in the developing brain (1). My article sparkled a renewed interest in neonatal and pediatric cerebro-cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CCPR). In reviewing the research investment into neonatal deaths, only 10% of research expenditure is directed toward 90% of the world's global burden of disease—the so called “10/90 gap” (2). The Millennium Development Goal to reduce the under-five mortality by two-thirds by 2015 was not achieved (3), and neonatal death remains a significant contributor to this category of childhood mortality (4).
