Background Telecommunicator CPR (T‐CPR), whereby emergency dispatch facilitates cardiac arrest recognition and coaches CPR over the telephone, is an important strategy to increase early recognition and bystander CPR in adult out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Little is known about this treatment strategy in the pediatric population. We investigated the role of T‐CPR and related performance among pediatric OHCA. Methods and Results This study was a retrospective cohort investigation of OHCA among individuals 8), the older age group was less likely to receive CPR before emergency medical services arrival (88% versus 69%, P=0.002). For those receiving T‐CPR, bystanders spent a median of 207 seconds (133–270) performing CPR. The median compression rate was 93 per minute (82–107) among those receiving T‐CPR. Conclusions T‐CPR is an important strategy to increase early recognition and early CPR among pediatric OHCA.
