Induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest
… based on studies of the clinical use of induced hypothermia as an intervention to reduce mortality and neurological impairment after cardiac arrest. After the publication of two trials indicating benefit of induced hypothermia, we developed a registry to assess outcome, possible adverse events …

The Effect of Selective Hypothermia on Stroke Volume
Hypothermia is a well-established neuroprotectant. Selective hypothermia to the ischemic area may eliminate side effects while improving induction time. We studied the effect of selective hypothermia on stroke volumes in adult domestic swine. Under general anesthesia, one MCA was occluded …

The effects of hypothermia and acidosis on Haemostasis
Hypothermia and acidosis are often seen in trauma patients and the critically ill. Both significantly contribute towards the pathology of these conditions. These patients are often investigated for coagulopathy, often as a result of bleeding. Traditionally routine coagulation screening is performed …

Reducing the Risk of Hypothermia in Neonatal Infants
… due to complications influenced by infant hypothermia. <strong>Project Aim</strong>: To reduce the rate of hypothermia at one hour and the first 24 hours of life in the target population of preterm neonates weighing less than 1500 grams with a gestational age less than 32 weeks from 9.5% to …

Timing of Therapeutic Hypothermia & Short-Term Infant Outcomes
… evidence recommends initiating Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH), as early as possible, however, research specifically describing TH timing in relation to short-term infant outcomes is limited with mixed results.</p> <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> Examine TH timing (TH initiation time & time to …

Cardiac arrest and therapeutic hypothermia: Prognosis and outcome
Abstract Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only treatment available to reduce neurological sequels for unconscious patients following cardiac arrest (CA). TH requires sedation and muscular relaxation, obscuring the clinical neurological examination for estimation of prognosis, and clinical …

The Pattern of Ventricular Repolarization during Therapeutic Hypothermia
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is used in neuroprotection following cardiac arrest. Accidental hypothermia has been itself known to cause prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc). QTc prolongation can cause polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). The …

Renal function during profound hypothermia in the dog
… concerning the production of profound hypothermia in dogs. Hypothermia was induced by blood-stream cooling, via a heat exchanger incorporated in an extra-corporeal pump-oxygenator system (ef Appendix A). Progress was such that by midyear postoperative survival of experimental animals …

The Visceral to Skin Temperature Gradient in Restraint Hypothermia
<p>[Abstract Not Included]</p> <p>Summary: The effects of restraint on skin, subcutaneous, and deep visceral temperatures of rats exposed to environmental temperatures of 0°C, 8°C, 16°C, and 28°C are determined. The temperature gradients of restrained and unrestrained rats at 0°G are compared.</p> …

Pharmacologically Replicating Metabolic Protective Mechanisms of Hypothermia in Cardiac Arrest
… injury. Rapid application of therapeutic hypothermia is one of few therapies which consistently improves neurological outcomes in animal models; however, clinical trials have yielded disappointing results which may be explained by inadequate cooling rates provided by currently available …

Hypothermia as an adjunctive therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock
… infarct size and associated complications. Hypothermia has in experimental studies been shown to reduce infarct size. Clinical trials, however, have not been able to show this effect, possibly because a therapeutic temperature was not reached before reperfusion in the majority of the …

Predicting adverse neurological outcomes in infants receiving therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
… blood flow to the brain. Despite, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) treatment, consequences of HIE can include life-long disability or even death. Current diagnostic tools may not always be associated with outcomes. Thus, better tools are needed for prognostication. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) …

Aspects of bleeding complications and hemostasis at central line insertion and mild induced hypothermia
… remain controversial among clinical studies. Hypothermia is generally considered to reduce coagulation and platelet function. However, studies performed in animals, healthy volunteers, and patients have shown conflicting results. Paper I, a retrospective study in non-intensive care unit …

Prediction of the Outcome in Cardiac Arrest Patients Undergoing Hypothermia Using EEG Wavelet Entropy
… of death in the United States. Induction of hypothermia has been found to improve the functional recovery of CA patients after resuscitation. However, there is no clear guideline for the clinicians yet to determine the prognosis of the CA when patients are treated with hypothermia. The …

Therapeutic hypothermia for neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy in sub-saharan africa: a scoping review
There are divergent views regarding therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this review was to synthesize the literature describing TH for HIE in sub-Saharan Africa by searching Pubmed, Scopus, Google Scholar, …
