Abstract 113: Temporal Trends in the Use of Therapeutic Hypothermia for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Insights From the CARES Registry [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusions: In a U.S. registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the use of therapeutic hypothermia decreased after publication of a study supporting more lenient temperature thresholds. Concurrent to this change, overall risk-adjusted survival of cardiac arrest decreased, but was not attributed to lower use of therapeutic hypothermia.
