Finally, anticipating and addressing known complications such as seizures, increased intracranial pressure, or cerebral edema with appropriate measures, including antiepileptic drugs or osmotic agents, is essential for improving patient outcomes. Lowering the MAP may mitigate these risks and possibly improve outcomes. doi: 10.1161/01.str.0000014509.11540.66.

Targeted temperature management (TTM) for patients following cardiac arrest resuscitation has gone through several dosing iterations in the past two decades. Finally, the guidelines support active temperature management’s (though not necessarily hypothermia) role in improving post-arrest outcomes. degrees Celsius for 72 hours.

Judicious fluid resuscitation is indicated in patients with signs of hypo perfusion but is often inadequate necessitating the administration of vasoactive medications. At the most severe end, this includes endothelial dysfunction leading to increased vascular permeability, abnormal nitric oxide metabolism, and vasodilation (i.e. 95% CI 15.4

Evaporative cooling is the preferred method to actively reduce body temperature in the emergency department , as it can be performed with ongoing resuscitation efforts. Ice water immersion and iced peritoneal lavage are additional methods used to lower temperature but are more invasive or can prevent additional resuscitative efforts.
