Abstract
Devices for rapid induction of mild hypothermia after cardiac arrest are needed. We hypothesized that the Life Recovery Systems' ThermoSuit System provides effective core cooling by pumping ice water over the skin surface and improves neurologic outcome after prolonged cardiac arrest. Prospective experimental study. University research laboratory. Large White breed pigs (29 to 35 kg). Swine were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. Ten minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation, 3 mins of basic life support, and 5 mins of advanced cardiac life support, including two 0.4 IU/kg doses of vasopressin, were followed by up to three countershocks. After restoration of spontaneous circulation, swine were randomized to two groups (normothermic control, hypothermia). The hypothermia group was cooled from a pulmonary artery temperature of 38.5 +/- 0.5 degrees C to 33.0 degrees C and kept for 14 hrs. At day 9 of the experiment, overall performance categories scores (1, normal; 2, slightly disabled; 3, severely disabled; 4, comatose; 5, dead, brain dead) and neurologic deficit scores (0%, normal; 100%, brain dead) were assessed. Data are presented as median and interquartile range; group comparison was done with a Mann-Whitney U tes...Continue Reading
