CArdiac arrest is associated with high morbidity and mortality in children. Hypothermia therapy has theoretical benefit on brain preservation and has the potential to decrease morbidity and mortality in children following cardiac arrest. The American Heart Association guidelines recommend that it should be considered in children after cardiac arrest. Methods of inducing hypothermia include simple surface cooling techniques, intravenous boluses of cold saline, gastric lavage with ice-cold narmal saline, and using the temperature control device with extracorporeal life support. We recommend further study before a strong recommendation can be made to use hypothermia therapy in children with cardiac arrest.
