This week we cover the POLAR RCT on hypothermia for neuroprotection in those with severe TBI. Take Aways: The data do not suggest that targeted hypothermia improves neurological function, reduces death, or reduces hospital length of stay as compared to normothermia. Welcome back to the “52 in 52” series. Bradycardia: 18.8%

National Acute Chest Syndrome Study Group [published correction appears in N Engl J Med 2000 Sep 14;343(11):824]. Pulse oximetry is also based on HbA, not HbS. N Engl J Med.
