Cognitive Function in Survivors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest After Target Temperature Management at 33 degrees C Versus 36 degrees C

• -Target temperature management is recommended as a neuro-protective strategy after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Potential effects of different target temperatures on cognitive impairment commonly described in survivors are not sufficiently investigated. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether a target temperature of 33ºC compared to 36ºC was favourable for cognitive function, and secondary to describe cognitive impairment in cardiac arrest survivors in general.
