Targeted temperature management (TTM) is now recommended for patients presenting with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, there are limited data that support its use in patients with an initial non-shockable rhythm (NSR). ⋯ Among patients who survived cardiac arrest with an initial NSR, TTM is associated with a higher rate of survival and favorable neurological outcomes compared with no TTM. However, analyses from the included RCTs did not support this conclusion.
