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.

Previous triad of death = hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. HypoCa is common in trauma patients and is associated with poor outcomes. Liver dysfunction, secondary cirrhosis, critical illness, trauma, and hypothermia reduce citrate metabolism. Hypothermia also leads to hypoCa. Whole blood does contain less citrate.

Mortality is high, between 16-43.5% , and neurological outcomes are generally poor amongst survivors. These poor outcomes are related to both the SRSE itself and as a result of the prolonged PICU stay. One study suggests remission in 6 out of 7 patients where it was used, but long-term clinical outcomes remained poor.
