Treatment of Comatose Survivors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest with Induced Hypothermia

TL;DR: This randomized, controlled trial compared the effects of moderate hypothermia and normothermia in patients who remained unconscious after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to survive to hospital discharge and be discharged to home or to a rehabilitation facility.

Mild therapeutic hypothermia to improve the neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest

TL;DR: In patients who have been successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, therapeutic mild hypothermia increased the rate of a favorable neurologic outcome and reduced mortality.

Predictors of Survival From Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the strength of associations between out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and key factors (event witnessed by a bystander or emergency medical services [EMS], provision of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR], initial cardiac rhythm, or the return of spontaneous circulation) and examined trends in OHCA survival over time.
