Therapeutic Hypothermia for Cardiac Arrest
In the era before Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH) was recommended and used as a therapeutic modality for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, reported data suggests in-hospital mortality exceeded 58%.[1,2,3,4,5,6] Mortality after a sudden and unexpected cardiac arrest (CA) is high, and the chance of survival to hospital discharge has, until recently, remained unchanged.[7] In one report...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest.
Approximately 275 000 Europeans per year experience out-ofhospital cardiac arrest, with huge differences in survival ranging from more than 30% in some cities to just a few percent in others. The main cause of these significant survival differences is differences in overall quality of the treatment, both pre-hospital during resuscitation and in-hospital after return of spontaneous circulation. ...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest.
Recent evidence supports the use of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest. This article reviews recent published studies and describes the pathophysiology of hypothermia. Nurses need to understand the physiology of hypothermia to provide care for patients receiving therapeutic hypothermia. A suggested protocol is included to help manage the care of these patients.
متن کاملTherapeutic Hypothermia for Cardiac Arrest
Targeted temperature management is the key intervention for improving neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest. We discuss new data on the optimal timing and modalities of targeted temperature management. It took nearly half a century, from 1957 to 2002, for therapeutic hypothermia to acquire its current status as a key intervention for improving neurological outcomes in survivors of cardiac ...
متن کاملTherapeutic Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest.
The use of therapeutic hypothermia following different hypoxic-ischaemic insults has played an important role in various concepts of non-specific protection of cells for a long time. Although the use of deep therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest in the last century did not lead to an improved outcome, recent data have demonstrated very positive effects of mild therapeutic hypothermia. Th...
