Abstract

Target: The study aimed to evaluate the treatment outcomes of hypothermia therapy in patients with cardiac arrest as the underlying cause. Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective study analyzed the medical records of a total of 35 patients who experienced cardiac arrest due to cardiac causes from May 2015 to December 2018. Results: The mortality rate of patients at the time of discharge was 40%, which increased to 48.6% after 30 days. The proportion of patients with good neurological recovery at discharge was 37.1%, and it increased to 40% after 30 days. The lactate levels decreased from 7.5 ± 3.6 (range: 0.6-16.6) mmol/L at admission to 7.2 ± 3.7 (range: 1.5-16) after hypothermia therapy. Blood gas parameters showed the following changes: at admission, the average pH was 7.2 ± 0.1 (range: 7.1-7.5), and HCO3 was 16.6 ± 3.6 (range: 9.9-27.1). At the end of the hypothermia phase, the pH averaged 7.4 ± 0.1 (range: 7.2-7.6), and HCO3 averaged 21.2 ± 3.6 (range: 11.5-26.4). Conclusion: The study results provide data on the current mortality rates of patients, serving as a basis for deciding on hypothermia therapy for patients with cardiac arrest as the underlying cause.
