Therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest: outcome predictors
OBJECTIVE The determination of coma patient prognosis after cardiac arrest has clinical, ethical and social implications. Neurological examination, imaging and biochemical markers are helpful tools accepted as reliable in predicting recovery. With the advent of therapeutic hypothermia, these data need to be reconfirmed. In this study, we attempted to determine the validity of different markers,...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest.
Approximately 275 000 Europeans per year experience out-ofhospital cardiac arrest, with huge differences in survival ranging from more than 30% in some cities to just a few percent in others. The main cause of these significant survival differences is differences in overall quality of the treatment, both pre-hospital during resuscitation and in-hospital after return of spontaneous circulation. ...
متن کاملPredictors of poor neurologic outcome after induced mild hypothermia following cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Several predictors of poor neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest (CA) were proven to be valid. However, these studies preceded the advent of therapeutic induced mild hypothermia (TIMH), which may alter their validity. The objective of this study is to reassess the validity of these predictors in post-CA patients treated with TIMH. METHODS Retrospective chart review of 37 consecut...
متن کاملTherapeutic Hypothermia for Cardiac Arrest
In the era before Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH) was recommended and used as a therapeutic modality for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, reported data suggests in-hospital mortality exceeded 58%.[1,2,3,4,5,6] Mortality after a sudden and unexpected cardiac arrest (CA) is high, and the chance of survival to hospital discharge has, until recently, remained unchanged.[7] In one report...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest.
Recent evidence supports the use of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest. This article reviews recent published studies and describes the pathophysiology of hypothermia. Nurses need to understand the physiology of hypothermia to provide care for patients receiving therapeutic hypothermia. A suggested protocol is included to help manage the care of these patients.
