The Association Between Brain Temperature and Neurological Outcome in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients Who Received Targeted Temperature Management at 33 °C.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the established concordance between core temperature and brain temperature (BT) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, the relationship between BT and neurological outcomes in those who received targeted temperature management (TTM) has yet to be elucidated. Thus, this study aimed to explore the relationship between BT and neurological outcome in OHCA patients who received TTM.

Methods

This observational study involved adult patients (≥18 years) with OHCA who received TTM at 33 °C between April 2021 and December 2023. We recorded BTs at the initiation of TTM (BT_INI) and during the maintenance phase of TTM (BT_MAIN). A neurological outcome at 6 months was the primary outcome. Poor outcome was considered as Cerebral Performan
