My dept has protocols to induce post arrest hypothermia, but without any invasive therapies. Just soaked sheets, A/C, etc. Also, not every hospital is onboard with post arrest hypothermia. Only certain hospitals will utilize this therapy.

Interestingly enough, despite the obvious benefits of therapeutic hypothermia in the post arrest patient, there is no evidence that starting cooling in the field confers any added benefit.

I would like to see a decent study where cooling with large volume cold fluid is started prior to ROSC, this would seem intuitively to be useful (intuition being no substitute for evidence)

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.
