Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyTargeted Temperature Management After Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Due To Drowning: Outcomes and Complications.
To describe outcomes and complications in the drowning subgroup from the Therapeutic Hypothermia After Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Out-of-Hospital trial. ⋯ In comatose survivors of out-of-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest due to drowning, hypothermia did not result in a statistically significant benefit in survival with good functional outcome or mortality at 1 year, as compared with normothermia. High risk of culture-proven bacterial infection was observed in both groups.
