Therapeutic Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest

Abstract: Despite the publication of two randomized controlled trials of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest showing a clear benefit in neurologic outcome and mortality nearly a decade ago, the use of therapeutic hypothermia after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation remains low. This lag in converting clinical research into practice is likely due in part to a lack of familiarity with a relatively new technology and the need for many providers in the chain of care to understand and feel comfortable with its… Show more

“…The current protocols for inducing hypothermia rely on increasing heat loss by applying physical cooling, which is provided by surface or intravascular cooling devices (19). However, in conscious nonsedated subjects, cooling triggers compensatory cold-defensive responses, such as shivering, which increases metabolic rate and oxygen demand, thereby counteracting the cooling effect and preventing the drop in core temperature (19). Therefore, the successful use of TH for the treatment of stroke requires novel methods of lowering core temperature, which can be used in awake patients outside of intensive care units.…”

“…Within current protocols, hypothermia is induced through application of physical cooling (e.g., by cold water-perfused blankets or intravascular heat exchangers), with the resulting increase in heat loss (19). In conscious subjects, however, the decrease in both ambient and core temperatures activates compensatory responses to generate and retain heat, such as shivering and peripheral vasoconstriction, which make physical cooling ineffective in achieving hypothermia (32).…”

“…This strategy has become the basis of the current clinical protocols of therapeutic hypothermia. 35 A variety of practical implementations of the physical cooling strategy have been created, and new and improved methods are constantly being developed. 36 …”

“…Cooling of the brain is of relevance for preventing cerebral ischemia during anesthesia and after cardiac arrest hypothermia may improve neurological outcome and even survival (Hoesch and Geocadin, 2007; Holzer, 2008, 2013; Lay and Badjatia, 2010; Harris et al, 2012). Cerebral cooling can be induced by global lowering of the body temperature as arterial blood will gradually lower brain temperature (Nybo et al, 2002; Holzer, 2008).…”
