Therapeutic Hypothermia Still Effective in Prevention of Anoxic Encephalopathy following Extended Period of Pulselessness during Cardiac Arrest
There are approximately 300,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests per year with less than 10% of those surviving. More than half of
survivors suffer permanent neurologic deficits. Therapeutic hypothermia has proven effective at thwarting neurologic damage occurring
in the 16-hour window following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Despite recommendations by the American Heart
Association (AHA), many cardiologists have been slow to implement therapeutic hypothermia. While many trials have discussed the
relevance of initial rhythm and delay of cooling, there has been limited discussion of the efficacy of therapeutic hypothermia in the
presence of extended pulselessness.
