Main Article Content

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate treatment outcomes in comatose patients following cardiac arrest who underwent surface cooling therapeutic hypothermia. Subjects and Methods: A prospective descriptive study of 49 comatose patients after out-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) who underwent surface cooling therapeutic hypothermia at the A9 Emergency Center, Bach Mai Hospital from January 2024 to July 2025. Results: The survival rate at hospital discharge was 51%, at 30 days was 49%. Good neurological outcomes (CPC 1-2) at 30 days were achieved in 44.9% of the study group. Conclusion: The study results provide data on survival rates and neurological outcomes in comatose patients following cardiac arrest treated with surface cooling therapeutic hypothermia, serving as evidence for clinical practice implementation.
