Commentary on Twitter
A history of hypothermia for cardiac arrest, 2002-2021 (RIP)🪦
🥶2002 studies supporting hypothermia were weak
🥶robust studies refute benefit (TTM1 & TTM2)
🥶growing evidence of iatrogenic harm
🥶post-arrest hypothermia should be restricted to within RCTshttps://t.co/GZbpgHXWoD pic.twitter.com/ILUAiqqLQl— 𝙟𝙤𝙨𝙝 𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙖𝙨 💊 (@PulmCrit) June 17, 2021
