Effectiveness of cooling and adverse events (AEs) involving skin have not been intensively evaluated in cardiac arrest survivors treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) when induced and maintained with a servomechanism-regulated surface cooling system. ⋯ The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System was an effective means of performing therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest. Infrequent skin injuries were associated with vasopressor use and low ejection fraction.
