Therapeutic hypothermia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Sudden cardiac death in South India: Incidence, risk factors and pathology

“…The toll of SCD is grim even in developed societies with well established preventive, therapeutic and advanced emergency medical services [28]. On the contrary, these advantages are limited in developing countries in South Asia, contributing to poor survival in patients with out of hospital cardiac arrest [5].…”

Cardiac Arrhythmias - New Considerations

“…Evidence from reports using cold fluid infusion have not been associated with increased venous pressure, left atrial filling pressures, pulmonary pressures, pulmonary edema, cardiac arrhythmia, or other major complications. (Holzer, 2002).…”

Mild Induced Therapeutic Hypothermia for Survivors of Cardiac Arrest

“…A secondary endpoint was to evaluate complications within the first seven days after cardiac arrest, and mortality rate at six months. The European study demonstrated that neurologic outcome, as well as patient survival at six months (55% vs. 41%), both significantly improved in the hypothermic group as compared to the normothermic group (Holzer, 2002). In the Australian trial, 77 comatose cardiac arrest survivors with ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia as the initial rhythm were similarly assigned to normothermic (n = 34) or hypothermic (n = 43) groups based on randomization.…”
