[EN] Introduction: Cardiac arrest have secondary co-morbidities, especially neurological outcome. Due to this cirumstances is mandatory to optimized postcardiac arrest management. The objective of this research is to analyze patient's characteristics and outcome after out-hospital cardiac arrest in patients that have undergone therapeutic hypothermia. Matherial and methods: We conducted a prospective observational study during a two-year period. We included resuscitated patients over eighteen years old who were admitted in to our intensive care unit. These patients had undergone prolonged resuscitation measures and were included in an implemented post-resuscitation protocol which included therapeutic hypothermia. Results: Thirty-three patients were analyzed. The median time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 31.6 minutes. We observed hypoxic/anoxic encephalopathy in 32.3% of cases. This prognosis was associated in those who smoked (p = .04) and with longer time of cardiac arrest (p = .049). Also, the 66.7% of the patients showed a higher incidence of hypoperfusion (p = .049). Conclusion: In our series hypothermia could be a useful tool in post-resucitation cardiac arrest managment. We also found that the neurological prognosis was associated to non-modifiable risk factors.
[ES] Introducción: La parada cardiorrespiratoria (PCR) presenta múltiples morbilidades secundarias, especialmente las neurológicas, por tanto es necesario un correcto manejo posparada. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar las características y los resultados de pacientes sometidos a hipotermia tras una PCR extrahospitalaria resucitada. Material y métodos: Realizamos un estudio prospectivo observacional de dos años, donde se incluyeron pacientes que ingresaron en nuestra unidad mayores de 18 años y con PCR prolongada extrahospitalaria resucitada, en los cuales se realizó un protocolo consensuado de cuidados posresucitación e hipotermia terapéutica. Resultados: Se incluyeron 33 pacientes. Se observó una media de 31,6 min de tiempo de PCR. Un 32,3% presentaron encefalopatía hipóxico-anóxica, siendo más frecuente en fumadores (p = 0,04), y con mayores tiempos de PCR (p= 0,049). También el 66,7% de los pacientes presentaron mayores datos de hipoperfusión (p = 0,049). Conclusión: Observamos que la hipotermia podría ser un instrumento útil en el manejo de las PCR extrahospitalarias. Además, encontramos que el pronóstico neurológico se asocia más a factores no modificables.
