Abstract
Background. Therapeutic hypothermia is called controlled lowering of the temperature inside the human body to 32–34°C for 12 to 24 hours. Is one of the few interventions that increase the percentage of survival after the incident in your heart, but also reduces the complications of neurological after cardiac arrest. Tissue in hypothermia reduces yours metabolism, increasing survival time in terms of shortages of oxygen and nutrients. This condition can be obtained using the methods of invasive and non-invasive. Objectives. The aim of the work is to present the most important aspects of the care of the sick in the therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest. Material and methods. The work describes the individual case of the patient after cardiac arrest. Method was direct observation and analysis of the medical records. Conclusions. Care of patients after CPR requires the nursing team high qualifications and skills make quick and informed decisions. One way to prevent complications of cardiac arrest is the use of therapeutic hypothermia. Prevention of therapeutic hypothermia is a major goal of nursing care.References
