Episode #1: Temperature Management Matters: Past, Present and Future

Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.

The Podcast entitled “Temperature Management Matters: Past, Present and Future” with Dr. Nickolas Johnson, Associate Professor, University of Washington focused on lessons learned from past clinical trials in cardiac arrest and next steps for improving TTM protocols. In addition to reviewing published results from the completed TTM1 and TTM2 trials, Dr. Johnson discussed the new ICECAP trial that will use an innovative adaptive randomization approach to clarify the optimal duration of cooling associated with best outcomes in post cardiac patients. Consistent with the concept of specialized medicine, these types of clinical studies and resulting data could result in new guidelines for the use of temperature management protocols in terms of cooling duration in this heterogenous population of patients.
