Relative Exclusionary Criteria:
Prolonged arrest time (>1 hour).

Trauma or major intracranial, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal operation within seven days.
Normal saline should be given for all patients except in refractory hypoxemia –In a 70 kg patient, 1 liter of - 4°C chilled saline induces about 1-1.2°C of cooling.
Excess oxygenation early postcardiac arrest contributes to cerebral oxidative stress and poor outcomes.

Initiation Phase: ICU (continued)
Continuous core temperature, arterial BP, cardiac monitoring, CVP, and SaO2 monitoring during hypothermia protocol.
Record vital signs (including temperature) q 15 minutes during initiation phase.
1:1 nursing during hypothermia protocol.
Accu-Cheks q.2h. during hypothermia protocol.
Hourly urinary output (UOP).
Notify MD if SBP <90MAP <80 or >100 (<65 if patient had PCI) CVP <8 or >15
UOP >300/hour or <.5 ml/kg/hour
Skin checks q.2h. during protocol.
Insert OG tube and place on low intermittent suction.
Analgesia: FentaNYL (1000 mcg/0.9% NaCl100 ml) by continuous IV infusion at 50 mcg/hour.
Sedation: Use order set Sedation for MechanicallyVentilated Patients (Doc #87017) using the
LORazepam (Ativan) regimen with a loading dose of 1 mg and initial infusion rate of 1 mg/hour. Titrate up to a maximum of 10 mg/hour.
Acetaminophen 1 gm per OG tube now, then 650 mg per OG tube q.6h. x12 doses through rewarming.
BusPIRone 30 mg OG q.8h. throughout cooling and rewarming (clamp OG tube for 60 minutes).
Magnesium sulfate 4 gm IV/Sterile water 50 ml to be given over 5 hours unless dialysis dependent.
If moderate or severe shivering occurs 30 minutes after initiation of cooling, call E Focus for possible neuromuscular blockade orders.Initiate EBC Neuromuscular blockade Mechanically Ventilated Patients Order Set (Doc #87014).
If target temperature is not achieved within 4 hours, give 500 ml 0.9% NaCl at 4°C and place ice packs on the groin, axillae, and neck. Repeat until target temperature is achieved.
Blood Gas Arterial 30 minutes after 33° is reached.
No sedation vacation during this hypothermia protocol.-Acetaminophen is an antipyretic which can assist in efforts to maintain hypothermia and assist with normothermia in the first 48 hours after rewarming.
-BusPIRone is a novel agent which reduces shivering during hypothermia.
-Magnesium sulfate is capable of reducing shivering and can assist with hypothermia.
Bedside Shivering Assessment Scale (BSAS):
0 - None: No shivering noted on palpation of the masseter, neck, or chest wall.
1 – Mild: Shivering localized to the neck and/or thorax only. 2 – Moderate: Shivering involves gross movement of the upper extremities (in addition to neck and thorax).
3 – Severe: Shivering involves gross movements of the trunk and upper and lower extremities.
If the temperature drops to <31 degrees, consider infusing 250 ml boluses of 40° 0.9% NaCl or LR until temperature reaches >32. (<32 increases the incidence of dysrhythmias). Early warming should be done only with the approval of two physicians.

If serum K+ is <4 mmnol/L, call MD.
All potassium replacement or IV fluids with potassium should be completed or stopped 6 hours prior to rewarming if the serum K+ is 3.5 or greater.(Continued on Page 5) 93928 v1
Potassium replacement is not to be done during rewarming phase.
Anticipate vasodilatation, hypotension, hypoglycemia, and rapid electrolyte shifts during the warming phase. Aggressive IV fluid resuscitation may be necessary.

If serum magnesium is <1.8 mg/dL, call MD.Phosphate Replacement:
Call MD for phosphate <2.Rewarming Phase
Initiate rewarming 24 hours after the target temperature of 33°C was achieved.
Record vital signs (including temperature) q 15 minutes during rewarming phase.
Rewarm at a rate of 0.5°C/hour. Rewarming to 36°C should take 6-8 hours.
Resume ventilator circuit heating.
If neuromuscular blockade is being utilized, stop it when the patient’s temperature reaches 36°C.
Stop sedation and IV fentaNYL 2 hours after neuromuscular blockade has stopped.Post-Rewarming Phase
Maintain normothermia (<38°C) for 24-48 hours after warming was initiated. Continue scheduledacetaminophen for 72 hours from the time the target temperature was reached during the cooling phase.
