Does hypothermia increase survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest? To answer this question, the authors carried out a follow-up study using information from a national US registry. Of the 26,183 ...

October 4, 2010 (Las Vegas, Nevada) — When emergency medical services added induced hypothermia with cold saline to standard postresuscitation care, the survival rate of patients with a return of ...

Moderate reductions in body temperature can improve outcomes after a person suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI). New research that identifies positive effects of mild hypothermia on brain tissue is ...

An analysis of multiple studies has shown hypothermia therapy (HT) provides critical benefits for people who suffer cardiac arrest, though it remains under-utilized by hospitals and emergency medical ...

Survivors of cardiac arrest who remain in comas have better survival and neurological outcomes when their body temperatures are lowered, according to new research by Dr. Sarah Perman at the University ...

Since 2005, the guidelines for the care of unconscious cardiac arrest patients have been to cool the body temperature down to 33 degrees Celsius. A large, randomized clinical trial has now shown that ...

In response to cold, the hypothalamus increases heat conservation by reducing blood flow to peripheral tissues through sympathetically-mediated vasoconstriction. The hypothalamus also stimulates heat ...
