Saxe Communications & Stryker* present…“To Cool or Not to Cool? The latest on targeted temperature management after cardiac arrest”
Moderate therapeutic hypothermia is currently recommended to improve neurologic outcomes in adults with persistent coma after resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Recently published studies have re-examined this practice to determine the most effective targeted temperature. Questions that are addressed include whether it should it be 33° C or 36° C or just avoid fever? You will learn the most up to date information from two experts with direct experience with this therapy for over two decades. They will share insights from their published studies as well as the results of the HYPERION and TTM2 trials.
Learning Objectives | Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Discuss the findings of recent published studies including the TTM-2 and HYPERION trials
- Discuss the concept of high quality TTM and tailoring therapy to severity of post-arrest injury
