Efficacy and safety of a novel rapid non-invasive surface-cooling device for induction of therapeutic hypothermia in patients after cardiac arrest
During spontaneous circulation, cooling rates were 9.3 ± 1.4 °C/h (M), and 6.1 ± 1.4 °C/h (C) (p = 0.003); no skin lesions were observed. During cardiac arrest, cooling rates were 4.1 °C/h (1.8–4.8) (M), and 3.7 °C/h (3.1–5.3) (C) (p = 0.9); no skin lesions were observed.
Cooling with cold metal plates was an effective method for rapid induction of mild therapeutic hypothermia in adult human-sized swine during spontaneous circulation, without any signs of skin damage. This new surface-cooling device, independent of energy supply during use, should be further investigated.

Therapeutic hypothermia induced during cardiopulmonary resuscitation using large Resuscitation, Volume 76, Issue 2, February 2008, Pages 311-313 Stephen A. Bernard, Alexander Rosalion Abstract SummaryIntroductionTherapeutic hypothermia after resuscitation improves outcome following prolonged out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Laboratory studies suggest that this therapy may improve outcome further when induced during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We report a case where therapeutic hypothermia was induced during cardiopulmonary resuscitation using large-volume (40 mL/kg), ice-cold (4 °C) intravenous fluid. |
