Presentation Transcript

Therapeutic Hypothermia

The hospital I work at recently (12/2009) started to offer Therapeutic Hypothermia as a therapy for patients post sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), and patients who had a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)./nIt has been an exciting couple of months of inservices, and clinical practice. To me it was like learning CPR all over again! I had learned CPR at the age of 14 because I wanted to help save lives. Now I can try to save more lives with therapeutic hypothermia. I'm still excited! Hope the thought of therapeutic hypothermia and/or this power point excites and inspires you.
