Setting: Pre-hospital Care. Patients: The study included patients aged 0---15 years between January 2008 and December 2012. Interventions: Patients follow up. Variables: Prehospital and hospital care variables were analyzed and one-year follow-up was performed, along with a specific follow-up of survivors in June 2014.  Please cite this article as: Rosell-Ortiz F, Mellado-Vergel FJ, López-Messa JB, Fernández-Valle P, Ruiz-Montero MM, González-Lobato I, et al.
