Abstract:
Brain injury is the leading cause of death after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Clinical care for brain injury remains necessary.Therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to be effective in improving neurological outcome of children with cardiac arrest.We routinely induced hypothermia in children with coma after cardiac arrest,targeting 32 ～ 34 ℃,using cooling blankets and intravenous ice cap as primary methods for induction,for 24 ～ 72 h or much more duration,and vigilant re-warming.The objective of this article was to share our hypothermia protocol for cooling children with acute brain injury after cardiac arrest.
