Changes in Temperature Management of Cardiac Arrest Patients Following Publication of the Target Temperature Management Trial*

摘要

Objectives: To evaluate knowledge translation after publication of the target temperature management 33 degrees C versus 36 degrees C after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest trial and associated patient outcomes. Our primary hypothesis was that target temperature management at 36 degrees C was rapidly adopted in Australian and New Zealand ICUs. Secondary hypotheses were that temporal reductions in mortality would be seen and would have accelerated after publication of the target temperature management trial.
