Post-arrest temperature control
Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed61-year-old woman for Post-arrest temperature control. About 8 simulated minutes.
What you will practise
- Recognize the indication for temperature control after ROSC without making an early prognosis.
- Integrate fixed neurologic, temperature, perfusion, oxygenation, ventilation, seizure, and cause findings.
- Activate an individualized protocolized target within 32–37.5°C for at least 36 hours.
- Record continuous core-temperature, shivering, perfusion, organ, electrolyte, glucose, and controlled-rewarming review.
- Reassess temperature and systemic physiology without claiming neurologic recovery or outcome.
