Hyperthermia: is it an ominous sign after cardiac arrest?

Reads0

TLDR
Hyperthermia at an early stage after resuscitation from CA may be associated with the outcome of brain death, especially in patients with non-traumatic out-of-hospital CA.

Part 9: Post-Cardiac Arrest Care: 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care

TL;DR: The goal of immediate post-cardiac arrest care is to optimize systemic perfusion, restore metabolic homeostasis, and support organ system function to increase the likelihood of intact neurological survival.

Post–Cardiac Arrest Syndrome

TL;DR: This scientific statement outlines current understanding and identifies knowledge gaps in the pathophysiology, treatment, and prognosis of patients who regain spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest to provide a resource for optimization of post–cardiac arrest care.

Small Differences in Intraischemic Brain Temperature Critically Determine the Extent of Ischemic Neuronal Injury

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that rectal temperature unreliably reflects brain temperature during ischemia, and that despite severe depletion of brain energy metabolites at all temperatures, small increments of intraischemic brain temperature markedly accentuate histopathological changes following 3-day survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of mild hyperthermia and hypothermia on brain damage following 5, 10, and 15 minutes of forebrain ischemia.

TL;DR: The results confirm previous findings showing that a decrease in temperature of only 2°C significantly reduces damage to several selectively vulnerable neuronal populations, and show that an increase in temperature significantly enhances brain damage.

Fever in Acute Stroke Worsens Prognosis A Prospective Study

TL;DR: Fever in the first 7 days of hospitalization was an independent predictor of poor outcome during the first month after a stroke, and in agreement with animal studies, patients with higher temperature had a worse stroke outcome.

Effects on temperature of amines injected into the cerebral ventricles. a new concept of temperature regulation.

TL;DR: The present experiments show that these amines affect body temperature when injected into the cerebral ventricles of an unanaesthetized cat, and suggest that the three amines which are present in relatively high concentrations in the hypothalamus play a role in theothalamic regulation of body temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new concept of temperature regulation by amines in the hypothalamus.

TL;DR: It is found that adrenaline, noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine are present in relatively high concentrations in that part of the wall of the third ventricle known as the hypothalamus, yet no definite function could be attributed, to their presence in this diencephalic structure.
