Is Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest Effective in Both Shockable and Nonshockable Patients?: Insights From a Large Registry
F Dumas, D Grimaldi, B Zuber, J Fichet... - Circulation, 2011 - Am Heart Assoc Methods and Results Between January 2000 and December 2009, data from 1145 consecutive
out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients in whom a successful resuscitation had been achieved
were prospectively collected. The association of TMH with a good neurological outcome ...
Background—Although the level of evidence of improvement is significant in cardiac arrest patients resuscitated from a shockable rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia [VF/Vt]), the use of therapeutic mild hypothermia (TMH) is more controversial in nonshockable patients (pulseless electric activity or asystole [PEA/asystole]). We therefore assessed the prognostic value of hypothermia for neurological outcome at hospital discharge according to first-recorded cardiac rhythm in a large cohort.
