Practice Patterns and Trends in Temperature Control After Cardiac Arrest: A Multi-Specialty Survey.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Temperature control after cardiac arrest remains a recommended component of post-cardiac arrest care, yet substantial practice variability persists. Conflicting evidence regarding optimal temperature targets and mixed interpretations of recent trials, such as TTM2, may contribute to inconsistent bedside implementation. Understanding physician knowledge, attitudes, and practice patterns is essential for aligning post-cardiac arrest management with evolving evidence. This study aimed to characterize international physician perceptions of temperature control, patterns of use, understanding of neurologic injury, and the influence of emerging literature. Methods: A 39-item web-based survey was developed through iterative expert review and pilot testing and d
