Induced Hypothermia: From Bench to Bedside in Systemic and Neurological Protection After Resuscitation From Cardiac Arrest
Japan Journal of Clinical & Medical Research(2021)
摘要
Introduction: Cardiac arrest outside medical center is a major cause of death. The survival rates ranges from 5 percent to 35 percent. In patients who are initially resuscitated, anoxic neurologic injury is the prime cause of morbidity and mortality, besides hazards in multiple organs as the kidneys, for example. Induced hypothermia has proven to improve the prognosis after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Objective: To demonstrate in experiments where induced mild hypothermia has been able to reduce ischemic and inflammatory damage in animal’s brains and consequently the multiplicity of the other organs. Methods: Experiments were carried out with rabbits and rats when mild hypothermia was induced in order to demonstrate its neuroprotective properties. Results: Induced mild hypothermia demonstrated to be able to reduce the deleterious effects caused by brain ischemia and brain inflammation. Conclusions: Hypothermia may be helpful in reducing the ischemic process as well as in reducing the inflammatory cascade caused by ischemia. We believe that induced hypothermia improves prognosis after resuscitation from cardiac arrest reinforcing the application of mild hypothermia in cases of cerebral ischemia mainly after cardiac arrest.
