Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Therapeutic Hypothermia after In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Children.
Targeted temperature management is recommended for comatose adults and children after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; however, data on temperature management after in-hospital cardiac arrest are limited. ⋯ Among comatose children who survived in-hospital cardiac arrest, therapeutic hypothermia, as compared with therapeutic normothermia, did not confer a significant benefit in survival with a favorable functional outcome at 1 year.

Noncigarette tobacco products are evolving rapidly, with increasing popularity in the United States. ⋯ During this study, 28% of U.S. adults were current users of tobacco, and 9% of youths had used tobacco in the previous 30 days. Use of multiple products was common among tobacco users. These findings will serve as baseline data to examine between-person differences and within-person changes over time in the use of tobacco products.
