Targeted temperature management (TTM) is the induction of varying degrees of patient temperature targeting within Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU): Therapeutic hypothermia- induction of varying degrees of hypothermia. What are the potential complications of therapeutic hypothermia? It can also increase blood pressure.

Elsa was found face down in the family pool 20 minutes after last visual contact and was picked up without resuscitation. She was intubated at the scene and transported to your ED, with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed en route. d) Hypothermia As you ponder these options, the matron hands you the repeat gas.

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”).

An index to all posts in the series can be found here: Introduction Although cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is performed on more than 250,000 people in U.S. This results in a wide variation in practice—25% of unsuccessful resuscitations are stopped before 15 minutes, while an equal number go longer than 30 minutes.

Shunting of blood to the extremities results in thermal dysregulation and subsequent hypothermia. While we may allow permissive hypotension in damage control resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock, in neurogenic shock you should maintain an age-appropriate blood pressure. Unopposed vagal tone leads to bradycardia.
