Targeted temperature management (TTM) in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has been associated with improved neurological outcomes. However, the optimal temperature target for TTM remains unclear. ⋯ Patients treated with TTM at 34-36 °C had similar mid-term survival and neurological outcomes as patients treated with TTM at 32-34 °C. However, patients treated within the higher temperature range had fewer acute complications.
