2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC reinforce the importance of early TTM and advocate the use of high quality TTM Systems (with a feedback loop). Get with the guidelines. #aha#ttm#sca
Life is amazing. Fifteen years ago the AHA OHCA Guidelines mentioned hypothermia as -- drowning and accidental hypothermia. Now #TTM and #ECPR are the most exciting aspect of resuscitation care and research.

This is the beauty of science. An article from 2007, cited only 167 times. Now its the playbook to stop #COVID19#coronavirus and a forever classic: Premptive school closures in US Cities During the 1918-1919 Influenza Pandemic https://t.co/PxHEYezmLL
“A longer rewarming duration was significantly associated with and was an independent predictor of favorable neurological outcomes in OHCA patients who received TH.” https://t.co/3iQ9gE8FLB
Is post arrest 33 better than 36 degrees? Looks like neuro-intact survival went down after switching from 33 to 36 @IcusHarborview. 36 degrees associated with increased fevers and delays in TTM initiation (not started in the ED). @NickJohnsonMD@UWashEM

4 guidelines- all from Europe (British, NCS, German and French) re-use of TTM in neuro ICU patients including ICH, SAH and acute stroke and we still don't know what cutoff temperature qualifies as Fever in ICU #LIVES2018#FOAMed
