Description
Summary:Table 1 - Baseline characteristics and outcome PEA indicates pulseless electrical activity; GOS 1, dead; GOS 2, vegetative state; GOS 3, severe disability; GOS 4, moderate disability; GOS 5, good recovery; VT/VF, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Again, no significant difference in mortality was found (66.7% vs. 62.5%). [...]we were unable to demonstrate a significant benefit of moderate hypothermia for OHCA patients in our hospital.
