Comparative Study
Comparison of early sequential hypothermia and delayed hypothermia on neurological function after resuscitation in a swine model.
We utilized a porcine cardiac arrest model to compare early sequential hypothermia (ESH) with delayed hypothermia (DH) and no hypothermia (NH) to investigate the different effects on cerebral function after resuscitation. ⋯ Early sequential hypothermia could increase the protection of neurological function after resuscitation and produce better neurological outcomes. The institutional protocol number: 2010-D-013.
