Therapeutic hypothermia? No benefit in cooling kids after in-hospital cardiac arrest (THAPCA)
www.pulmccm.org
Cooling kids to 33ºC after resuscitation from in-hospital cardiac arrest brought no benefits compared to fever prevention (maintenance at 36.8°C), in the large THAPCA randomized trial. After one year, survival was 39% with hypothermia and 36% with management of body temperature in the normal range. There were no differences in neurologic outcomes or any other important clinical endpoint.
