Cold at the Core: Osborn Waves in Neurosarcoidosis-Induced Central Hypothermia
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2019 Osborn waves, or J waves, initially described by John Osborn in 1953 in hypothermic dog experiments, are highly sensitive and specific for hypothermia. Initially thought to be secondary to a hypothermia-induced “injury current,” they have more recently ...

Targeted temperature management in neurointensive care
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2023 The clinical prognosis of acute severe brain injury is poor, and therapeutic hypothermia in targeted temperature management (TTM) is considered to be one of the most effective neuroprotective methods, which might effectively improve the prognosis of ...

Comparison between Gel Pad Cooling Device and Water Blanket during Target Temperature Management in Cardiac Arrest Patients [PDF]
Acute and Critical Care, 2018 Background: Target temperature management (TTM) improves neurological outcomes for comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We compared the efficacy and safety of a gel pad cooling device (GP) and a water blanket (WB) during TTM. Methods: We
