The implementation of therapeutic hypothermia in the emergency department: a multi-institution case review.
The use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is a burgeoning treatment modality for post-cardiac arrest patients. ⋯ The implementation of TH across the country is extremely varied with no universally accepted treatment. While our study is limited by sample size, it illustrates some compelling trends. A large, prospective, multicenter trial or registry is necessary to elucidate further the optimal parameters for TH and its benefit in various population subsets.
