Review Meta Analysis
Effects of in-hospital low targeted temperature after out of hospital cardiac arrest: A systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.
We performed this systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of in-hospital low targeted temperature in adult patients after out of hospital cardiac arrest on survival and neurologic performance. ⋯ In-hospital low targeted temperature (<4 °C) improved short and long-term mortality when compared to no targeted temperature. In contrast, low T did not improve outcome compared with a slightly higher targeted temperature (≈ 36 °C).
