ABSTRACT

Neurological injury is efficient in survival after cardiac arrest. Targeted temperature management (TTM) is commonly used to prevent neurological damage after cardiac arrest in eligible patients. In this article, we present TTM in a patient who presented with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In a 32-year-old patient who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation due to cardiac arrest, therapeutic hypothermia was performed to reduce the body temperature at 0.5 ˚C per hour until 35 ˚C was reached, and continued for 36 hours in the reanimation intensive care unit after spontaneous circulation was returned. Glasgow coma score was 12 on the 6th day and 15 on the 8th day. On the 10th day of hospitalization, the patient was discharged with full cognitive functions, being self-mobilized, and taking oral diet on the 16th day of her admission to our clinic. she was discharged being conscious, fully cooperating, and breathing in room air. TTM should be considered for the prevention of neurological damage in eligible patients after cardiac arrest.

Keywords: Sudden cardiac arrest, targeted temperature management, intensive care
