Targeted temperature management (therapeutic hypothermia, now temperature control) has been the cornerstone of neuroprotection in patients resuscitated but comatose after #OHCA for the past 20 years
The exact mechanism of action is unknown.
Experimental data suggest that low temperature decreases the cerebral metabolic rate, and consequently reduces the release of excitatory aminoacids and free radicals.

This week we will discuss #Ventilation during #Resuscitation. As a starter, we’d like to hear from you.
In your practice, which of the following ventilation parameters do you routinely measure during resuscitation?

Thanks a lot for all your answers.

Don’t miss a new accredited #tweetorial launching Monday here on @cardiomet_CE. Our newest core faculty member, #interventionalist & #SoMe education enthusiast @aayshacader will be discussing #antiplatelet tx in an oh-so-tough scenario--#cardiogenicshock complicating #STEMI.
FOLLOW US now and be there! @DLBHATTMD @DrMauricioCohen @SVRaoMD @HeartBobH @HeartOTXHeartMD @Heart_SCCT @TCTMD @GreggWStone @gabrielsteg @cpcannon @agtruesdell @evandrofilhobr @SCAI @SripalBangalore @mmamas1973 @SABOURETCardio @PCRonline @Pooh_Velagapudi #CardioTwitter
1) Welcome to a tweetorial on antiplatelet therapy for #STEMI in #cardiogenic shock #CS! Accredited for 0.50 credits by @academiccme! I am @aayshacader. Be sure to see prior tweetorials on this topic and still earn credit at cardiometabolic-ce.com/category/plate… 
THREAD and my infographic of the #TTM2 trial
#OHCA patients were randomised to #TTM at 33°C or normothermia (<37.8°C) with early fever treatment.
➡️ Mortality and poor neuro outcome at 6 months were not lower in the hypothermia group.

Guidelines recommend selecting and maintaining a constant target #TTM between 32 and 36 °C in comatose post-cardiac arrest patients to prevent hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.

Two RCTs published in 2002 showed an improved survival and neurologic outcome in patients resuscitated from OHCA of presumed cardiac cause and shockable rhythm who underwent hypothermia at 33°C. #FOAMcc
@TiaTiaraymond @AlexisTopjian just announced a big change in the @HeartCPR Pediatric #CPR guidelines...ventilate 20-30 times per minute during CPR in children with an airway in place. Based, in part, on @CritCareMed publication by @SuttonB_ICUMD #PedsICU #CPRsaveslives
Take-home messages:
1. High-quality #CPR is the foundation of resuscitation. New data reaffirm the key components of high-quality CPR: adequate compression rate / depth, minimizing interruptions, allowing full chest recoil between compressions, & avoiding excessive ventilation.

2. A respiratory rate of 20 to 30 breaths per minute is new for infants and children who are (a) receiving CPR with an advanced airway in place or (b) receiving rescue breathing and have a pulse.
