2013 Hyperthermia / Hypothermia Outcomes 
Pediatric EM Morsels
AUGUST 9, 2024
We have previously discussed hypothermia presentations , GBS infections , and HSV infections. Foles, 2024 ] In the US, from 2013-2018, cases increased from 362 to 1,306. If not treated early, then increased risk of poor outcomes and death. 2013 Aug;20(4):337-9. Epub 2013 Feb 27. BMJ Case Rep. Emerg Radiol.

Patients can have excellent outcomes despite prolonged resuscitation. Some authors recommend not starting chest compressions in hypothermia unless there is no organized cardiac activity (e.g., 2 In reality you may start compressions before you confirm that hypothermia was the primary cause of cardiac arrest.

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.

Improving outcomes for patients with cardiac arrests has been an ongoing challenge in pre-hospital and in hospital medicine. SGEM#50 looked at a RCT published in JAMA 2013 looking to see if a vasopressin, steroids, and epinephrine (VSE) protocol for IHCAs could improve survival with favorable neurologic outcome compared to epinephrine alone.
