A multicentre observational study of inter-hospital transfer for post-resuscitation care after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

摘要

Aim: To provide therapeutic hypothermia (TH) to survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), inter-hospital transfers (IHT) are frequently required. The safety of IHT remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the effect of TH on brain recovery after OHCA differs between IHT and direct arrival groups.
