Abstract

To investigate rebound hyperthermia following targeted temperature management after cardiac arrest and its impact on functional outcome.

DESIGN: Post hoc analysis.

SETTING: Ten European ICUs.

PATIENTS: Patients included in the time-differentiated therapeutic hypothermia in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors trial treated with targeted temperature management at 33°C for 48 or 24 hours. Favorable functional outcome was defined as a Cerebral Performance Category of 1 or 2 at 6 months.

INTERVENTIONS: None.

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Of 338 included patients, 103 (30%) experienced rebound hyperthermia defined as a maximum temperature after targeted temperature management and rewarming exceeding 38.5°C. Using multivariate logistic regression analysis, increasing age (odds ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.95-0.99;

CONCLUSIONS: One-third of targeted temperature management patients experience rebound hyperthermia, and it is more common in younger male patients with an aggravated inflammatory response and those treated with a mechanical chest compression device. Later onset of rebound hyperthermia and temperatures exceeding 38.5°C associate with unfavorable outcome.
