Rewarming after hypothermia after cardiac arrest shifts the inflammatory balance.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to simultaneously analyze the key components of the cerebral and systemic inflammatory response over time in cardiac arrest patients during mild therapeutic hypothermia and rewarming. DESIGN AND SETTING Clinical observational study in a tertiary care university hospital. PATIENTS Ten comatose patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. INTERVENTIONS...
متن کاملAssessment of intravascular volume by transthoracic echocardiography during therapeutic hypothermia and rewarming in cardiac arrest survivors.
AIM To study haemodynamic effects and changes in intravascular volume during hypothermia treatment, induced by ice-cold fluids and maintained by ice-packs followed by rewarming in patients after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 24 patients following successful restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), hypothermia was induced with infusion of 4 degrees C normal ...
متن کاملRewarming a patient with accidental hypothermia and cardiac arrest using thoracic lavage.
The optimal treatment for severe accidental hypothermia is cardiopulmonary bypass because this offers the most rapid rate of rewarming. However, cardiopulmonary bypass therapy is not available in every hospital. In these circumstances, rewarming has to be achieved with other methods. We present a patient who was successfully rewarmed with thoracic lavage after he had been found with a core temp...
متن کاملRewarming from severe accidental hypothermia with circulatory arrest.
This case report demonstrates successful cardiopulmonary and cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) of a young male explored 15 hours following a suicide attempt (carbamazepine intoxication) in deep hypothermia (19 degrees C) with circulatory arrest. An extracorporeal circuit was used to rewarm the patient's blood. Weaning from extracorporeal circulation (ECC) was successful and without complications as...
متن کاملHypothermia After Cardiac Arrest
Background—No proven neuroprotective treatment exists for ischemic brain injury after cardiac arrest. Mild-to-moderate induced hypothermia (MIH) is effective in animal models. Methods and Results—A safety and feasibility trial was designed to evaluate mild-to-moderate induced hypothermia by use of external cooling blankets after cardiac arrest. Inclusion criteria were return of spontaneous circ...
