THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA
Therapeutic hypothermia is a medical treatment
that lowers a patient's body temperature to
32°C - 34°C in order to help reduce the risk of the ischemic injury
following a period of insufficient blood flow. The quality of
treatment during the post-resuscitation phase affects outcome.
Therapeutic hypothermia is now an established therapy that greatly
contributes to improved survival with good neurological
outcome.
CLINICAL EVIDENCE SUPPORTING EMCOOLS
The innovative cooling technology is designed to improve patient outcomes after acute ischaemic events. Several publications demonstrate the safety and efficiency of the cooling device suitable for hypothermia treatment in both the pre-hospital and in-hospital settings.
