Effect Size of Targeted Temperature Management in Pediatric Patients with Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome According to the Severity.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Few studies have investigated the differential effects of targeted temperature management (TTM) according to the severity of the condition in pediatric patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS). This study was aimed at evaluating the differential effects of TTM in pediatric patients with PCAS according to a risk classification tool developed by us, the rCAST.

Methods

We used data from a nationwide prospective registry for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in Japan. We classified eligible pediatric PCAS patients (aged ≤ 18 years) into quintiles based on their rCAST scores and evaluated the effect of TTM on the neurological outcomes in each severity group. Then, focusing on the severity group that appeared to benefit from TTM, we also evaluated the eff
