Excerpt

Animal studies suggest a life-saving benefit for intra-arrest cooling. Transnasal evaporative cooling has sufficient heat transfer capacity for effective intra-arrest cooling and improves survival in swine. A 200-patient study showed transnasal cooling to be a safe and feasible method of intra-arrest cooling. The study also showed a solid trend to improved neurologically intact survival rates in those patients receiving intra-arrest transnasal cooling. …
