Targeted Hypothermia vs Normothermia in Cardiac Arrest Survivors (video)

A recent randomized clinical trial has challenged the role of hypothermia in patients with coma after cardiac arrest. In this video, AJM Editor-in-Chief Joseph S. Alpert, MD explains this new meta-analysis which found that targeted temperature management was not associated with improved survival or neurological outcomes compared to normothermia. You can read “Targeted Hypothermia vs Targeted Normothermia in Survivors of Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials” by Elbadawi et al in the May 2022 available on our website amjmed.com.
