In response to this critical issue, the TAME Cardiac Arrest Trial has been launched as a definitive phase III multi-center randomized controlled trial for resuscitated cardiac arrest patients. Thus the results of this trial may not be generalizable to unwitnessed cardiac arrest with non-shockable rhythms and/or a lack of bystander CPR.

Hypothermic Arrest In general, hypothermic patients in cardiac arrest should be aggressively resuscitated. Patients can have excellent outcomes despite prolonged resuscitation. 2,3 If the patient meets criteria for resuscitation, they generally are not declared dead until their core temperature is above 32℃ (“warm and dead”).
