| Core Tip |
Induced, therapeutic hypothermia is a treatment for post-cardiac arrest syndrome with a potential survival benefit; however it is not widely used. We aimed to assess the safety of this therapy regarding cardiac arrhythmias through a systematical evaluation of electrocardiograms (ECG) changes during hypothermia and telemetry data. Our conclusions are that therapeutic hypothermia according to current practice is safe with arrhythmias in one third of the patients (38.3%) but no life-threatening arrhythmias. Bradycardia and reversible prolongation of ECG intervals are common findings. A concern may rise when inducing hypothermia to patients with arrhythmias related to long QT syndrome. |
