Clinical Question
Does mild hypothermia improve neurologic outcomes compared with standard care normothermia in patients surviving ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardic arrest?
Conclusion
In patients who have been successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, therapeutic mild hypothermia increased the rate of a favorable neurologic outcome and reduced mortality
