ObjectivesObjectivesReview the basic science of hypothermia and application in hypoxic- ischemic neuronal injurySummarize current clinical evidence for use of therapeutic hypothermia– Use in cardiac arrest, intrapartum asphyxia and
traumatic brain injury– limitations of available evidence
Introduction to the goals and objectives of the THAPCA trials

BackgroundBackgroundCardiac arrest (CA) in children is a tragic event associated with high mortality and poor neurological outcomeEspecially true of out-of-hospital (OH) CAEspecially true of out-of-hospital (OH) CA where mortality and neurological sequelae commonCA in the in-hospital (IH) setting results in higher survival and neurologic sequelae are far less common in survivors

History of HypothermiaHistory of HypothermiaConcept developed in the 1950s– Hypothermic dogs
survived 20min of cardiac arrest
1960s Neurosurgery for large aneurysms under cardiac arrest1970s Ascending aortic arch surgeryOutcome: not good

Cooled infants increased survival rate w/o neuro abn (RR 0.67, P 0.003)Cooling had reduced risk for cerebralCooling had reduced risk for cerebral palsy (RR 0.67 P 0.03)– Improved developmental scores

Cochrane Collaboration Cochrane Collaboration Eight randomized trials reviewed– 638 term infants with moderate-severe
encephalopathy and intrapartum asphyxiaResults– Statistically significant reduction in
combined outcome of mortality or major neuro disability to 18 mo

thrombocytopenia29 Cochrane Reviews, 2008
Cochrane ConclusionsCochrane ConclusionsTherapeutic hypothermia beneficial to term infants with HIEReduces mortality without increasing major disability in survivorsBoth large neonatal HI trials showed benefitBoth large neonatal HI trials showed benefit in moderate HI encephalopathy group– Suggests that HT may not be effective if neuro
injury severe– Ability to stratify by aEEG 24h/day is likely limited
Incorporation of ongoing data needed to clarify effectiveness

Cardiac Arrest Hypothermia Cardiac Arrest Hypothermia SummarySummary
Until recently, no tx shown to be efficacious for neuroprotection and survival in humans post CAIn 2002, two adult RCTs from Europe & pAustralia of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after VF OH CA reported improved outcome. (HACA, Bernard)
In 2005, 3 RCTs for newborns with HIE, all reported improved outcomes. (Shankaran, Gluckman, Eicher)

Hypothermia QuestionsHypothermia Questions
How to rewarm?– Worse outcome if rewarm rapidly– Management of shivering/stress responseManagement of shivering/stress response
Which patients should be cooled?– Should cooling start in the field or at the
referring hospital?
40
Hypothermia QuestionsHypothermia Questions
How to monitoring cooling?– Bladder, rectal or blood temp? Brain temp?– Frequent excessive hypothermia with
surface coolingHow should we manage shivering?– Counterwarming, buspirone, fentanyl– Use of NMB then need to monitor
continuous EEGHow to adjust medication in HT pts?
