Temperature Control After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Outcomes From the Discover In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Cohort

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the adherence to temperature control strategies for comatose survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and its association with patient outcomes. They found that while a documented temperature control strategy was linked to a higher likelihood of receiving temperature therapy and a lower incidence of fever, it did not significantly affect survival or functional and neurologic outcomes. Notably, over half of the eligible patients did not have a documented strategy, highlighting variability in practice across hospital systems.
