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.

The patient did well and was ultimately discharged home. This discussion comes from this previous post: Hyperthermia and ST Elevation Discussion Brugada Type 1 ECG changes are associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) and the occurrence of ventricular dysrhythmias. There were no dysrhythmias on cardiac monitor during observation.
