Randomized Controlled Trial
Time to start of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the effect of target temperature management at 33°C and 36°C.
The optimal temperature during targeted temperature management (TTM) for comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is unknown. It has been hypothesized that patients with long no-flow times, for example those without bystander CPR would have the most to gain from temperature management at lower temperatures. ⋯ TTM at 33°C compared to 36°C was not associated with an increased probability of a good neurological function for patients with longer no-flow times.
