Implication
Increased HR during rewarming may predict favorable OHCA outcomes; leaves open whether it should inform TTM prognostication or trials.
Structured PICO
Does increased heart rate response during the rewarming phase of therapeutic hypothermia predict favorable neurologic outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients?
P
Population
354 analyzed patients suffering from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who received therapeutic hypothermia after the return of spontaneous circulation from 2005 to 2011.
I
Intervention
Heart rate response during the approximately 48-hour rewarming phase of therapeutic hypothermia
O
Outcome
Unfavorable neurologic outcome at hospital discharge (Cerebral Performance Category of 3-5)hard clinical
Increased heart rate during the 48-hour rewarming phase of therapeutic hypothermia is an independent predictor of favorable neurologic outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.
