Targeted Temperature Management Post Cardiac Arrest with Dr. Jill Gualdoni

In this lecture, Dr. Gualdoni helps us to understand the history of targeted temperature management as well as new developments. She discusses the theory behind hypothermia. We then look at how to cool and how long to cool. Lastly, we look at how rhythms can make a difference.

Great Lecture! I've never fully understood the theory behind TTM and this explained it perfectly. Thanks!

Nice lecture, Jill.I have a Medscape article coming out soon on whats new in therapeutic hypothermia in stroke settings. One of my interviewees is Patrick Leyden who says that based partly on his in vitro studies involving different brain cells types at different temperatures, the 2013 TTM study was statistically underpowered and that's why it could not detect an outcome difference between 33 and 36 deg..

Really great synopsis- especially liked prequel of the sled dog race in MI.

Super helpful thank you!

"No matter where they arrest, no matter what rhythm" Got it. But... I'm still confused on if we should do this based on if the patient is comatose or not? and some clarification as to how they are defining "comatose"?

She's pretty smart.
