No difference found for moderate vs. mild hypothermia for comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
There may not be a single, optimal target temperature for all patients with cardiac arrest, noted the authors of a trial that compared target temperatures of 31 °C and 34 °C. The effects of therapeutic hypothermia could be modulated by several clinical variables, they suggested.

Study confirms factors predicting survival after resuscitation from cardiac arrest
Age older than 85 years, time to return of spontaneous circulation greater than 30 minutes, and nonventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation as the presenting rhythm were the strongest independent predictors of in-hospital mortality after cardiac arrest, a study found.

Epinephrine delays defibrillation, lowers survival in shockable in-hospital cardiac arrest
More than one in four patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia were treated with epinephrine before the first defibrillation, according to a Get With The Guidelines study.

Long-term survival from in-hospital cardiac arrest lower in black patients
The difference in outcomes between black and white patients was only partly eliminated by adjustment for patient and hospital treatment factors, leading study authors to speculate that postacute care contributed to the disparity.
