Previous triad of death = hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. Liver dysfunction, secondary cirrhosis, critical illness, trauma, and hypothermia reduce citrate metabolism. Hypothermia also leads to hypoCa. Calcium and resuscitation Severely injured trauma patients are commonly hypocalcemic.

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 most acute cause of death from NMS is hyperthermia, which is induced both by D2 receptor antagonism leading to rigidity and impaired thermoregulation from the striatum and hypothalamus. Any life-threatening hyperthermia should be treated immediately with an ice bath.[2] Therefore, fluid resuscitation and maintenance are important.

In addition, a flimsy cannula is easily dislodged during ongoing resuscitation and easily clots off. This was a randomised controlled multisite study comparing resuscitation of trauma patients requiring massive transfusion using either 1:1::1 or 1:1:2 ratios of platelets to plasma to red blood cells. to −0.5%]; P = 0.03.).

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. Click to enlarge.
