THERAPEUTIC HYPOTERMIA IN THE COMPLEX TREATMENT OF POST-RESUSCITATION DISEASE

This article is about of two cases of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and using therapeutic hypothermia as a important part of treatment of post-resuscitation disease. Current evidence supports that induction of therapeutic hypothermia in selected patients after cardiac arrest can improve neurological outcome. It is hoped that by summarizing the current state of knowledge on the subject and highlighting issues on clinical management will enable more patients to benefit from the therapy.
