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.

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.

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.

They arrive quickly and take over the resuscitation. Background: Therapeutic hypothermia post cardiac arrest has received a great deal of attention since 2002. They concluded: * “Conventional cooling methods to induce mild therapeutic hypothermia seem to improve survival and neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest.

Her rejoinder was “I didn’t think to blow through the nose, but, boy, did I blow between the teeth! ” The nose in Early Modern Expired Air Resuscitation: Early teaching in expired-air resuscitation was three-fold. Few people now remember that a strong early proposal in the move for expired air resuscitation was Mouth to Nose.
