| Popis: | Targeted temperature management, also known as therapeutic hypothermia (TH), is recommended for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Both internal or external methods of cooling can be applied. Individuals resuscitated from OHCA frequently develop postarrest myocardial dysfunction resulting in decreased cardiac output and left ventricular systolic function. This dysfunction is usually transient and improves with spontaneous recovery over time. Echocardiogram (ECHO) can be a vital tool for the assessment and management of these patients. This manuscript reviewed methods available for TH after OHCA and reviews role of ECHO in the diagnosis and prognosis in this setting. |
