SCCM Resource Library-March Journal Club: Critical Care Medicine (2020)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this webcast, the presenters discussed studies related to targeted temperature management (TTM) in patients following cardiac arrest. The first presenter, Dr. Nick Johnson, discussed a retrospective cohort study that compared TTM at 33 degrees Celsius to TTM at 36 degrees Celsius. The study found that TTM at 33 degrees was associated with a higher odds of favorable neurologic outcome at hospital discharge compared to TTM at 36 degrees. However, there was no difference in survival to hospital discharge between the two groups. Dr. Kelly Sawyer, the second presenter, discussed a study that investigated the relationship between the hypothermia to ischemia ratio and functional outcome in patients who received TTM. The study found that a larger hypothermia to ischemia ratio was associated with a higher proportion of patients with good functional outcome. However, the study also found a non-linear relationship between ischemia duration, hypothermia duration, and functional outcome. The presenters also discussed the challenges of translating preclinical data to clinical practice and the need for more research to determine the optimal dose and timing of TTM.
