Mild hypothermia for post cardiac arrest syndrome

Mild Induced Therapeutic Hypothermia for Survivors of Cardiac Arrest

Survival after Drowning with Cardiac Arrest and Mild Hypothermia

The current guidelines for resucitation following hypothermia and submersion with cardiac arrest state that rewarming should be continued until a core temperature of 32-34°C is achieved, after which death can be declared if no return of spontaneous circulation has occurred. As no randomized, controlled trials exist, these treatment guidelines are mostly based on a pragmatic approach. Wheater to...

Clinical application of mild therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest.

OBJECTIVE Postresuscitative mild hypothermia lowers mortality, reduces neurologic impairment after cardiac arrest, and is recommended by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. The European Resuscitation Council Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest Registry was founded to monitor implementation of therapeutic hypothermia, to observe feasibility of adherence to the guidelines, and to d...

Mild hypothermia in improving multiple organ dysfunction after cardiac arrest.

BACKGROUND Resuscitation after cardiac arrest (CA) with a whole-body ischemia-reperfusion injury causes brain injury and multiple organ dysfunction (MODS). This study aimed to determine whether mild systemic hypothermia could decrease multiple organ dysfunctions after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. METHODS The patients who had been resuscitated after cardiac arrest were reviewed. During t...

Cardiac arrest, mild therapeutic hypothermia, and unanticipated cerebral recovery.

OBJECTIVES Animal and human studies support mild therapeutic hypothermia as an effective means of preventing brain injury in comatose patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest. However, there is little clinical experience with predicting neurologic outcome in this patient population. We present 4 comatose patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest treated with mild hypothermia whose in-hospital ...
