Issue #4: The Latest in Critical Care, 6/12/23

PulmCCM

Induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest is also called “active temperature control” or “targeted temperature management.” TTM2 found no improvement in survival or neurologic outcome among patients randomized to cooling to a target of 33 °C, as compared to controls receiving fever prevention (e.g.

Background Therapeutic hypothermia, later rebranded as targeted temperature management, became a standard post-cardiac arrest therapy for comatose patients after two 2002 NEJM trials ( n=273 and n=77 ) suggested reducing core temperature to 32°C to 34°C markedly improved neurologic outcomes and survival.

Hypothermia versus Normothermia after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. Hypothermia versus Normothermia after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. Background: Hypothermia has been a mainstay of post-arrest care after the publication of two trials in 2002 that both suggested a benefit. This gives a NNT of 4.
