BACKGROUND
Aggressive surface warming is a common practice in the pediatric intensive care unit. However, recent rodent data emphasize the protective effect of mild (2 degrees - 3 degrees C) hypothermia after cerebral ischemia. This study evaluates different temperature regulation strategies after
BACKGROUND
Successful resuscitation from heatstroke cardiopulmonary arrest has been only partially explored and the data covering the post resuscitation pathophysiology leading to secondary arrest is, in most cases, insufficient.
OBJECTIVE
Following heatstroke-cardiopulmonary arrest, successful
We investigated the association between post-rewarming fever (PRF) and 6-month neurologic outcomes in cardiac arrest survivors. This was a multicenter study based on a registry of comatose adult (≥18 years) out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors who underwent targeted temperature management
BACKGROUND
Temperature is an important modulator of the evolution of ischemic brain injury--with hypothermia lessening and hyperthermia exacerbating damage. We recently reported that children resuscitated from predominantly asphyxial arrest often develop an initial spontaneous hypothermia followed
OBJECTIVE
In experimental models of ischemic-anoxic brain injury, changes in body temperature after the insult have a profound influence on neurologic outcome. Specifically, hypothermia ameliorates whereas hyperthermia exacerbates neurologic injury. Accordingly, we sought to determine the
BACKGROUND
Neurologic injury is a feared and serious long-term complication of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Postoperative hyperthermia was found to enhance postischemic neurologic injury. The use of core temperature as the reference point through CPB
Objective: The aim of this research was to study the factors contributing to the survival rate of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and to determine whether the incidence density of fever (IDF) acts as a mediator. Methods: Data from patients with IHCA who survived more than 48 h were
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the influence of post-rewarming temperature management (PRTM) on post-rewarming fever development and determined the association between the temperature in the immediate post-targeted temperature management (TTM) period and outcomes.
METHODS
This retrospective observational
This report describes a cardiac arrest that occurred in a 4-month-old infant during induction of anesthesia. During the administration of N2O/O2 and halothane via a face mask tachycardia was noted and rigor followed the application of succinylcholine for intubation. Shortly thereafter cardiac arrest
BACKGROUND
The authors determined associated cardiac arrest and death rates in cases from Canada and the United States as reported to The North American Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) Registry and analyzed factors associated with a higher risk of poor outcomes.

Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) is a life-threatening biochemical process of hypermetabolism brought about in susceptible individuals by a triggering drug or event. Type A aortic dissections are surgical emergencies requiring cardiopulmonary bypass and frequently deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. We
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) may lead to metabolic crisis of skeletal muscle in susceptible individuals following exposure to triggering agents such as volatile anesthetics or depolarizing muscle relaxants. MH is a rare and a potentially lethal disease, which can lead to cardiac arrest. We report a
The pattern of dying from immersion hyperthermia was documented in 8 dogs, 9 rhesus monkeys and 12 pigtail monkeys. Under light general anesthesia and spontaneous breathing, the animals were immersed into water of 45 degrees C, which was subsequently adjusted to control brain (parietal epidural)
BACKGROUND
The outcomes associated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after cardiac arrest, while overwhelmingly positive, may be associated with adverse events. The incidence of post-rewarming rebound hyperthermia (RH) has been relatively unstudied and may worsen survival and neurologic outcome. The
OBJECTIVE
Therapeutic hypothermia, also known as targeted temperature management (TTM), improves clinical outcomes in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Hyperthermia after discontinuation of active temperature management ("rebound pyrexia") has been observed, but its incidence and
