Abstract

Cardiac Arrest Patient Mild Hypothermia Reperfusion Injury Therapeutic Hypothermia Traumatic Brain Injury
In the 1950s, hypothermia was induced prior to surgery to assist procedures that caused prolonged ischemia, including heart surgery [1–3] and organ transplants [4]. Within its first decade, hypothermia was applied to emergent medical situations that were characterized by cerebral ischemia and stroke [5, 6] myocardial infarction (MI) [7, 8], and cardiac arrest patients [9, 10]_ENREF_10.
