| Unavoidable, consensus achieved in round 1 | Events that the PICU TEAM cannot prevent or avoidb | 68.1 (16.3) | 22.2 (5.3) | 5.6 (1.3) | 1.4 (0.3) | 2.7 (0.7) |
| CPR in progress | 75.0 (18) | 16.7 (4) | 4.2 (1) | 4.2 (1) | 0.0 (0) | |

| Optimal care | 58.3. (14) | 29.2 (7) | 8.3 (2) | 0.0 (0) | 4.2 (1) | |
| Potentially avoidable, consensus achieved in round 1 | When a patient experiences care WITHIN THE PICU that is determined to be suboptimal and that patient later experiences a cardiac arrest that MAY OR MAY NOT be related to the suboptimal care. | 33.3 (8) | 58.3 (14) | 4.2 (1) | 4.2 (1) | 0.0 (0) |
| Avoidable, presented in round 1, consensus achieved in round 2 | Events in which deviations from accepted practice standards within the PICU lead directly to cardiac arresta. | 75.0 (18) | 16.7 (4) | 8.3 (2) | 0.0 (0) | 0.0 (0) |
