Cooling your patients following cardiac arrest

Picture
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) affects more than 375,000 individuals per year in Europe and carries a greater than 90% mortality rate. Sadly, this mortality rate has not changed much over the past few decades. Among the few survivors who are discharged from hospital, only 3-20% of patients are able to resume their former lifestyles, due to neurological impairment following their cardiac arrest.

Most people want to be able to cool patients quickly and safely. Precise temperature control and ease of management are essential in a busy A&E or ITU unit.

In terms of ease of use, reliability and precision, the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System takes a lot of beating! It is non-invasive; has precise temperature control; can be applied by nursing staff and does not get in the way of other patient monitoring equipment.  For more information…>>
