AbstractHypothermia is proving to be an effective therapy for cardiac arrest patients at Providence (CA) Tarzana Medical Center, where the first three patients treated with this modality showed remarkable neurologic recovery. Here are some reasons why the program has been successful: A multidisciplined team developed the protocol, to help ensure chain of survival. ICU staff were trained along with ED staff, to ensure that the protocols for cooling down and rewarming patients were followed closely. Preprinted order sheets, order sets, inclusion and exclusion criteria are hanging off every one of the cooling units, along with the cooling wraps.
