Association Between Therapeutic Hypothermia and Outcomes in Patients with Non-shockable Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Developed After Emergency Medical Service Arrival (SOS-KANTO 2012 Analysis Report)

Background/objective The outcomes of patients with non-shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (non-shockable OHCA) are poorer than those of patients with shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (shockable OHCA). In this retrospective study, we selected patients from the SOS-KANTO 2012 study with non-shockable OHCA that developed after emergency medical service (EMS) arrival and analyzed the effect of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) on non-shockable OHCA patients.
