Cooling down, warming up: speed matters after cardiac arrest?
NCT ID NCT02555254
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 58 adults who had a cardiac arrest and were cooled to 33°C to protect their brains. Researchers compared two rewarming speeds (slow at 0.25°C per hour vs. fast at 0.50°C per hour) to see how it affected inflammation levels in the blood. The goal was to gather information, not to test a treatment.
