  Temperature control in managing post-anoxic brain injury remains debated. The Hypothermia versus Normothermia after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (TTM-2) trial showed no improvement in mortality or functional outcomes with therapeutic hypothermia at 33 °C in unconscious out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, compared to early fever avoidance...Read more

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) typically has a poor prognosis. Less than 50% of patients admitted to ICU survive to hospital discharge. Animal models suggest that therapeutic hypothermia is neuroprotective and decreases neuronal injury.  Targeted temperature management (TTM 33–36 °C) is part of international guidelines when managing post-OHCA...Read more
