Therapeutic hypothermia after profound accidental hypothermia and cardiac arrest

Because its safety and efficacy were established, the closed-loop endovascular catheter has been used to induce hypothermia in a range of clinical scenarios including patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest as well as neurologic injury [1-4]. Graduated rewarming w...

Description
Summary:Because its safety and efficacy were established, the closed-loop endovascular catheter has been used to induce hypothermia in a range of clinical scenarios including patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest as well as neurologic injury [1-4]. Graduated rewarming was not the only resuscitative technique used for this patient. Because the patient presented with ROSC after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the patient was treated with therapeutic hypothermia.
