Temporal Changes in Targeted Temperature Management for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest-Examining the Effect of the Targeted Temperature Management Trial : A Retrospective Cohort Study

Targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, interpretation of the evidence and translation into clinical practice, to realize benefits to patient outcomes may be inconsistent. This study aims to compare compliance with the recommended targeted temperatures and the use of intravascular temperature management (IVTM), as well as 90-day survival, before and after publication of the TTM trial. A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2010 to 2017. All comatose patients admitted to the intensive care unit after OHCA, who survived for ≥24 hours, were included. IVTM use was measured and TTM adherence was defined as the percentage time the core temperature was (1) within the guideline-recommended temperature range (initially 32-34°C, later modified to 32-36°C) for the first 24 hours, and (2) ≤37.5°C between 24 and 72 hours following admission. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed for the use of IVTM and survival at 90 days. Of the 302 patients identified, 136 (45%) were pre-TTM, and 166 (55%) post-TTM. Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. IVTM use decreased significantly (77.9% vs. 51.8%, p < 0.001) after the publication of the TTM trial. Adherence to the 32-34°C and 32-36°C targets was higher pre-TTM as compared with the post-TTM cohort (33.3% [0-66.7%] vs. 0% [0-16.7%], p < 0.001 and 83.3% [50.0-100%] vs. 36.7% [16.7-66.7%], p < 0.001, respectively). Time with temperature ≥37.5°C in the first 24 hours was higher post-TTM (p = < 0.001) but not between 24 and 72 hours. Ninety-day survival was 54.4% in the pre-TTM cohort and 44.0% post-TTM, (odds ratio 1.52 [0.96-2.40], p = 0.083). Adherence with recommended TTM decreased significantly following publication of the TTM trial and this was explained by a significant decrease in IVTM use. However, this concerning trend did not result in a statistically significant difference in survival.
