Key result
Mild therapeutic hypothermia to a core body temperature of 32°C to 34°C for 12 to 24 hours improves neurologic outcomes and survival in comatose adult survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Why the study?
Does cooling to a core body temperature of 32°C to 34°C for 24 hours improve neurologic outcomes in survivors of cardiac arrest due to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation?
Does cooling to a core body temperature of 32°C to 34°C for 24 hours improve neurologic outcomes in survivors of cardiac arrest due to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation?
Cooling survivors of VT/VF cardiac arrest to 32-34°C for 24 hours improves neurologic outcomes, though clinical adoption remains slow.
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 soon as possible after reaching the hospital.

Oommen et al. (2011) conducted a review in Cardiac arrest. Mild therapeutic hypothermia vs. Normothermia was evaluated. Mild therapeutic hypothermia to a core body temperature of 32°C to 34°C for 12 to 24 hours improves neurologic outcomes and survival in comatose adult survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
