Therapeutic Hypothermia at 35°C vs. Controlled Normothermia in ICU Heatstroke: Insights from a Pilot RCT

A pilot randomized trial comparing targeted temperature management at 35°C versus normothermia in intubated heatstroke patients showed no survival or neurological benefit from hypothermia but increased gastrointestinal injury and arrhythmias, highlighting safety concerns and questioning routine hypothermia use in this setting.

Redefining Post-Cardiac Arrest Care: Two-Year TTM2 Data Confirm No Long-Term Advantage for Targeted Hypothermia

This 2-year follow-up of the TTM2 trial demonstrates that targeted hypothermia at 33°C provides no long-term benefit for functional or cognitive recovery compared to targeted normothermia. The findings emphasize the importance of early fever management and suggest a recovery plateau after six months post-arrest.
