SCCM Resource Library-Targeted Temperature Management after Cardiac Arrest

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this webinar, titled "Targeted Temperature Management," Dr. George Lopez, a neurologist, and his panelists, Dr. Romer Geocaden and Dr. David Greer, discuss the recent study, "Targeted Temperature Management 2." The webinar is sponsored by the neuroscience section of the Society for Critical Care Medicine. The panelists discuss the strengths and limitations of the study, the differences in patient populations between Europe and the United States, and the role of biomarkers in determining the severity of injury and the best temperature for treatment. They also consider the use of sedation and withdrawal of life support in the context of temperature management. The panelists emphasize the need for more research and highlight ongoing studies, such as ISCAP and TTM3, which aim to further explore temperature management in patients with acute brain injury and cardiac arrest. In conclusion, they suggest that temperature control remains important, but caution against making sweeping conclusions from the study, as more research is needed to determine the best approach for individual patients.

"Should you consider updating your clinical practice related to targeted temperature management (TTM) after cardiac arrest?

The TTM1 Trial results (Nielsen N, et al. N Engl J Med. 2013;369:2197-2206) were published in 2013. At the time, this was the largest randomized clinical trial evaluating the use of TTM in survivors of cardiac arrest. Recently, results from the TTM2 trial (Dankiewicz et al. N Engl J Med. 2021;384:2283-2294) were published in the article Hypothermia Versus Normothermia After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest, which supersedes the TTM1 Trial results with new and potentially practice-changing data. Current clinical practice that follows the results of the TTM1 trial should now be reviewed in light of new information from the TTM2 trial.

After attending this webcast attendees will be able to:

Compare the results of the TTM1 trial with results of the TTM2 trial
Assess whether these data inform changing current clinical practice for cardiac arrest patients
Create a framework for applying these results to clinical critical care practice "
