Therapeutic hypothermia has emerged as a very important treatment
option for patients with cardiac arrest as it provides significant
protection from developing neurologic injury once the patient has
been successfully resuscitated. Studies have demonstrated over 15%
absolute risk reduction in death and neurologic injury using this
therapy. Although hospitals and medical centers have become
familiar with this important intervention it still remains greatly
under utilized due to an experience and lack of resources to safely
and effectively deploy such a program. The objective of this book
is to educate and familiarize both providers and institutions as to
how to develop and deploy and provide therapeutic hypothermia to
their patients. The current knowledge for this is provided by
speakers and national experts and also by literature review. There
are several courses being provided on this as well throughout the
US. These are good venues for people to come and see and get hands
on experience, but there still needs to be a concrete book with
references on how to go about getting this program started.
