A 62-year-old man collapses on the street and is found to be in cardiac arrest. He is resuscitated at the scene by emergency medical personnel, but he is comatose. Targeted temperature management, which involves cooling the patient to a core body temperature of 32 to 34°C for 24 hours, is recommended.

Implementation of Therapeutic Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest in the Intensive Care Unit
TLDR
A smartphone app may be a viable option to help doctors and nurses better understand how and when to resuscitate patients with cardiac arrest.
Therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest.
TLDR
The neurological outcome was evaluated at hospital discharge using the CPC-scale, where CPC 1-2 represents good outcome (mild or no impairment) and CPC 3-5 represents bad outcome (severe neurological impairment or death).
Hypothermia after cardiac arrest: Beneficial, but slow to be adopted
Survivors of cardiac arrest due to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation have improved neurologic outcomes if they are cooled to a core body temperature of 32°C to 34°C for 24 hours as…
Therapeutic Hypothermia‐Induced Electrocardiographic Changes and Relations to In‐hospital Mortality
Therapeutic hypothermia improves survival for selected patients who remain comatose after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia triggers changes in electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters; however, the…
Successful resuscitation after drowning with severe hypernatraemia and prolonged time to return of spontaneous circulation
TLDR
This case demonstrates the utility of extracorporeal life support and haemofiltration in patients drowned in saltwater, and combination of clinical circumstances is rarely associated with positive outcomes.
Targeted temperature management at 33°C versus 36°C after cardiac arrest.
TLDR
In unconscious survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of presumed cardiac cause, hypothermia at a targetedTemperature of 33°C did not confer a benefit as compared with a targeted temperature of 36°C.

Managing the Complications of Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia in the Cardiac Arrest Patient
TLDR
This work aims to provide the medical community comprehensive information related to the potential complications of survivors of CA receiving MTH, as it is imperative for the clinician to understand the physiologic changes that take place in the patient receiving M TH and how to prepare for them and manage them if they do occur.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for resuscitation and cardiac arrest management.
Hypoxic-Ischemic Injury After Cardiac Arrest
TLDR
The pathophysiology, clinical and radiological assessment, and identification of prognostic factors in patients with anoxic-ischemic brain injury following cardiac arrest are discussed.

TLDR
A 55-year-old man collapses while jogging through the park and remains unconscious after treatment with hypothermia for 24 hours, then remains comatose with absent pupillary reflexes in the emergency room.
Determination of prognosis after cardiac arrest may be more difficult after introduction of therapeutic hypothermia.

Induction of mild hypothermia in cardiac arrest survivors presenting with cardiogenic shock syndrome
TLDR
Induction of mild hypothermia in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest improves their outcome, and the outcome of patients with cardiogenic shock syndrome (CSS) with those who were circulatory stable is compared.
Treatment of Comatose Survivors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest with Induced Hypothermia
TLDR
This randomized, controlled trial compared the effects of moderate hypothermia and normothermia in patients who remained unconscious after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to survive to hospital discharge and be discharged to home or to a rehabilitation facility.
Outcome, timing and adverse events in therapeutic hypothermia after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest
TLDR
The Hypothermia Registry was founded to the monitor outcome, performance and complications of TH, and is recommended in guidelines.

Hyperthermia after cardiac arrest is associated with an unfavorable neurologic outcome.
TLDR
Hyperthermia is a potential factor for an unfavorable functional neurologic recovery after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation and is correlated to the best-achieved cerebral performance categories' score within 6 months.
