Excerpt

We read with great interest the study by de Waard and colleagues highlighting interest in continuous peritoneal lavage (PL) to induce mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) in unconscious patients after resuscitated cardiac arrest [1]. It is now quite well established that MTH improves outcome [2]. Compared with cooled intravenous infusion and cooled blankets, the authors showed that the target temperature was reached faster (30 minutes vs. 150 minutes) and had a lower coefficient of variation during the maintenance phase (0.5% vs. 1.5%) in the PL group [1]. …
