use of hypothermia in cases of cardiac arrest The usage of therapeutic hypothermia (T.H.) in patients with post-cardiac arrest anoxic brain injury has definitively proven to possess a protective effect for brain cells, based on several studies the American Hearth Association (AHA) and European Resuscitation Council (ERC) recommend the use of TH. The term therapeutic hypothermia means the induction of a body temperature between 32°C and 34°C aimed at limiting brain damage following a cardiac arrest. Therapeutic hypothermia slows down the activity of enzymes responsible for the formation of free...

Therapeutic hypothermia with ZAMAR BRAINLIFE • Induction Brainlife makes it possible to quickly and effectively reach the target temperature. The program is preset by the doctor (temperature target, duration, etc.) while the process is executed completely automatically. per hour until normothermia is reached (36.5°C). Brainlife makes it possible to manage the heating phase by maintaining the temperature increment between 0.20° and 0.50°, through computerised, automatic management of the information coming from the feedback systems until normothermia is reached. • Maintenance This is the phase...

The ultimate strategy for post-resuscitation syndrome The application of mild hypothermia after a cardiac arrest, described for the first time in the 1950s has definitively proven to possess a protective effect for brain cells. In 2002 two randomised, controlled prospective trials used therapeutic hypothermia in patients with post-cardiac arrest anoxic brain injury in out-of-hospital contexts: 1.Holzer et al (6), in Europe they recruited 275 patients who had undergone cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation; 137 were treated with hypothermia, 138 with normothermia; Hypothermia was obtained...
