Targeted temperature management
Targeted temperature management, also called therapeutic hypothermia or induced hypothermia, is "Abnormally low body temperature that is intentionally induced in warm-blooded animals by artificial means. In humans, mild or moderate hypothermia has been used to reduce tissue damages, particularly after cardiac or spinal cord injuries and during subsequent surgeries."[1]
Effectiveness
Clinical practice guidelines summarize management.[2]
A systematic review by the Cochrane Collaboration suggests benefit.[3] A second systematic review focusing on survivors of non-shockable rhythms suggests benefit.[4]
