Excerpt

The 2010 Guidelines on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation care, based on the landmark studies on therapeutic hypothermia, state that hypothermia can be induced and maintained with inexpensive means such as simple ice packs and/or wet towels [1]. Indeed there is no method that has proven superior for survival or good neurological outcome. However, this approach comes at the price of an increased burden on nursing staff and greater temperature fluctuations. Also such means do not allow active gradual and controlled rewarming. …
