Resident Journal Review: Available Evidence Regarding Targeted Temperature Management (TTM)

AAEM RSA

1 The primary goal of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is to optimize coronary perfusion pressure and maintain systemic perfusion in order to prevent neurologic and other end-organ damage while working to achieve ROSC. Interventions during the acute phase of treatment post return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) are therefore critical.

The Science on Targeted Temperature Management

ACEP Now

7 TTM2 is generally interpreted as favoring normothermia for post-arrest care, but the question is whether this trial is broadly applicable to many countries with less developed community CPR involvement. Changing target temperature from 33 °C to 36 °C in the ICU management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A before and after study.
