Increased protocol adherence and safety during controlled normothermia as compared to hypothermia after cardiac arrest.
This study aims to compare protocol adherence, neurological outcome and adverse effects associated with a controlled hypothermia versus a controlled normothermia protocol in patients successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest. ⋯ Protocol adherence was higher in the TTM-36 group. In-hospital mortality and neurological outcome were similar, while bradycardic arrhythmias were encountered more often in TTM-33.
