Trends, Predictors and Outcomes After Utilization of Targeted Temperature Management in Cardiac Arrest Patients With Anoxic Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) is a class I recommendation for the management of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) patients with presumed brain injury. We aimed to study trends, predictors and outcomes in SCA patients from a nationally represented US population sample.

Methods

We utilized the National Inpatient Sample from years 2005 to 2014 for the purpose of our study. Patients with SCA and anoxic brain injury were selected using relevant ICD-9 codes. Data were analyzed for trends over the years and key outcomes were assessed. Logistic regression analysis was done to determine predictors of TTM utilization in our study population.

Results

A total of 78,465 patients with SCA and anoxic brain injury were identified from January 2005 to December 2014. Out o
