AB  - For people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), prehospital body cooling has been linked to improved survival rates. The benefits of therapeutic hypothermia after an OHCA were discussed by a panel of experts, including background information on the epidemiology and prognostic importance of pre-hospital factors on survival outcomes, whether all patients should be cooled after experiencing an OHCA, and issues involved in percutaneous coronary intervention during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
