Case Summary
- Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) is a crucial intervention following cardiac arrest, aiming to mitigate secondary brain damage caused by hypoxia and reperfusion injury. The process involves controlled cooling to reduce cerebral blood flow and metabolic demands, thus decreasing oxygen requirements and cerebral edema. While traditionally focused on hypothermia, current guidelines advocate for individualized approaches, with options including therapeutic hypothermia (32-36°C) or therapeutic normothermia.
