Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury: Unraveling Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Emerging Prevention Strategies. Biomedicines 2024; 12:802. [PMID: 38672157 PMCID: PMC11048318 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12040802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains a challenge in the context of reperfusion procedures for myocardial infarction (MI). While early revascularization stands as the gold standard for mitigating myocardial injury, recent insights have illuminated the paradoxical role of reperfusion, giving rise to the phenomenon known as ischemia-reperfusion injury. This comprehensive review delves into the intricate pathophysiological pathways involved in MIRI, placing a particular focus on the pivotal role of endothelium. Beyond elucidating the molecular intricacies, we explore the diverse clinical manifestations associated with MIRI, underscoring its potential to contribute substantially to the final infarct size, up to 50%. We further navigate through current preventive approaches and highlight promising emerging strategies designed to counteract the devastating effects of the phenomenon. By synthesizing current knowledge and offering a perspective on evolving preventive interventions, this review serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers engaged in the dynamic field of MIRI.

Chin Med J (Engl) 2024:00029330-990000000-00988. [PMID: 38445387 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000003033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypothermia therapy has been suggested to attenuate myocardial necrosis; however, the clinical implementation as a valid therapeutic strategy has failed, and new approaches are needed to translate into clinical applications. This study aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a novel selective intracoronary hypothermia (SICH) device in mitigating myocardial reperfusion injury. METHODS This study comprised two phases. The first phase of the SICH was performed in a normal porcine model for 30 minutes ( n = 5) to evaluate its feasibility. The second phase was conducted in a porcine myocardial infarction (MI) model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion was performed by balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 60 minutes and maintained for 42 days. Pigs in the hypothermia group ( n = 8) received hypothermia intervention onset reperfusion for 30 minutes and controls ( n = 8) received no intervention. All animals were followed for 42 days. Cardiac magnetic resonance analysis (5 and 42 days post-MI) and a series of biomarkers/histological studies were performed. RESULTS The average time to lower temperatures to a steady state was 4.8 ± 0.8 s. SICH had no impact on blood pressure or heart rate and was safely performed without complications by using a 3.9 F catheter. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α, C-reactive protein (CRP), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were lower at 60 min post perfusion in pigs that underwent SICH as compared with the control group. On day 5 post MI/R, edema, intramyocardial hemorrhage, and microvascular obstruction were reduced in the hypothermia group. On day 42 post MI/R, the infarct size, IL-6, CRP, BNP, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 were reduced, and the ejection fraction was improved in pigs that underwent SICH. CONCLUSIONS The SICH device safely and effectively reduced the infarct size and improved heart function in a pig model of MI/R. These beneficial effects indicate the clinical potential of SICH for treatment of myocardial reperfusion injury.

Abstract
The major goal of translational research is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of treatments and interventions that have emerged from exhaustive preclinical evidence. In 2007, a major clinical trial was started to investigate the impact of paravertebral analgesia on breast cancer recurrence. The trial was based on preclinical evidence demonstrating that spinal anesthesia suppressed metastatic dissemination by inhibiting surgical stress, boosting the immunological response, avoiding volatile anesthetics, and reducing opioid use. However, that trial and three more recent randomized trials with a total of 4,770 patients demonstrate that regional analgesia does not improve survival outcomes after breast, lung, and abdominal cancers. An obvious question is why there was an almost complete disconnect between the copious preclinical investigations suggesting benefit and robust clinical trials showing no benefit? The answer is complex but may result from preclinical research being mechanistically driven and based on reductionist models. Both basic scientists and clinical investigators underestimated the limitations of various preclinical models, leading to the apparently incorrect hypothesis that regional anesthesia reduces cancer recurrence. This article reviews factors that contributed to the discordance between the laboratory science, suggesting that regional analgesia might reduce cancer recurrence and clinical trials showing that it does not-and what can be learned from the disconnect.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has been regarded as a promising neuroprotective method for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) for decades. During the development of TH, most researchers focused on improving hypothermic benefits by optimizing treatment processes and conditions. Intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy, for instance, have been introduced into AIS treatment. However, the lack of specialized intervention consumables, especially intervention catheter, led to inaccurate and uncontrolled hypothermic temperature, limited the efficacy of TH. In this review, intervention catheters as well as accessory equipment utilized in TH treatment has been summarized. Hopefully, this review may inspire the future development of TH specialized intervention catheter, enhance the outcome of TH, and neuroprotective efficacy in AIS.

Health position paper and redox perspectives on reactive oxygen species as signals and targets of cardioprotection. Redox Biol 2023; 67:102894.

Abstract
The present review summarizes the beneficial and detrimental roles of reactive oxygen species in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection. In the first part, the continued need for cardioprotection beyond that by rapid reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction is emphasized. Then, pathomechanisms of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion to the myocardium and the coronary circulation and the different modes of cell death in myocardial infarction are characterized. Different mechanical and pharmacological interventions to protect the ischemic/reperfused myocardium in elective percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass grafting, in acute myocardial infarction and in cardiotoxicity from cancer therapy are detailed. The second part keeps the focus on ROS providing a comprehensive overview of molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Starting from mitochondria as the main sources and targets of ROS in ischemic/reperfused myocardium, a complex network of cellular and extracellular processes is discussed, including relationships with Ca2+ homeostasis, thiol group redox balance, hydrogen sulfide modulation, cross-talk with NAPDH oxidases, exosomes, cytokines and growth factors. While mechanistic insights are needed to improve our current therapeutic approaches, advancements in knowledge of ROS-mediated processes indicate that detrimental facets of oxidative stress are opposed by ROS requirement for physiological and protective reactions. This inevitable contrast is likely to underlie unsuccessful clinical trials and limits the development of novel cardioprotective interventions simply based upon ROS removal.

Abstract
The study aims to compare the use of hypothermia in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with control. We systematically searched four electronic databases until March 2022. The inclusion criteria were any study design that compared hypothermia in patients with MI undergoing PCI with control. The risk of bias assessment of the included randomized controlled trials was conducted through Cochrane Tool, while the quality of the included cohort studies was assessed by the NIH tool. The meta-analysis was performed on RevMan. A total of 19 studies were entered. Regarding the mortality, there were nonsignificant differences between hypothermia and control (odds ratio [OR] = 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.75 to 1.50, p = 0.73). There was also no significant difference between the control and hypothermia in recurrent MI (OR = 1.21, 95% CI 0.64 to 2.30, p = 0.56). On the other hand, the analysis showed a significant favor for hypothermia over the control infarct size (mean difference = -1.76, 95% CI -3.04 to -0.47, p = 0.007), but a significant favor for the control over hypothermia in the overall bleeding complications (OR = 1.88, 95% CI 1.11 to 3.18, p = 0.02). Compared with the control, hypothermia reduced the infarct size of the heart, but this finding was not consistent across studies. However, the control had lower rates of bleeding problems. The other outcomes, such as death and the incidence of recurrent MI, were similar between the two groups.

Abstract
Background As one of the most common postoperative complications, hypothermia is the main cause of numerous problems during treatment, especially in elderly patients with decreased cardiac reserves. Objectives The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of forced-air warming system (FAWS), warmed intravenous fluids (WIVFs) and routine method on hemodynamic parameters, arterial blood gases (ABGs), shivering, and time to awakening in elderly patients undergoing open cardiac surgery (OCS). Methods This clinical randomized controlled trial was conducted on 94 elderly patients who underwent OCS at Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital, Babol, Iran. They were divided into three groups, namely FAWS (n=31), WIVFs (n=31) and routine rewarming method (RRWM, with a blanket) (n=32). The data were then recorded in a checklist. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed using SPSS 26 at a significance level of less than 0.05. Results The findings demonstrated that the degree of hypothermia had a significant decreasing trend in the groups receiving FAWS and WIVFs (P=0.002). Additionally, increased respiratory rate (P=0.013), higher bicarbonate (HCO3-) levels on arrival up to 4 hours after surgery (P=0.045), reduced lactate level (P=0.005), normal base excess (BE) and accelerated time to awakening (P=0.004) were observed in patients receiving FAWS. There was no significant difference in the study groups regarding shivering. Conclusion The results revealed that FAWS could mitigate the degree of hypothermia, increase body temperature and decrease the postoperative serum lactate levels. Moreover, BE as one of the most important parameters for ABGs, could remain at a normal level. Besides, the use of FAWS could lead to early awakening, and thus facilitate weaning and extubation of these patients.

Abstract
Systemic inflammatory conditions are often associated with hypothermia or hyperthermia. Therapeutic hypothermia is used in post-cardiac arrest and some other acute diseases. There is a need for more knowledge concerning the effect of various temperatures on the acute inflammatory response. The complement system plays a crucial role in initiating the inflammatory response. We hypothesized that temperatures above and below the physiologic 37 °C affect complement activation and cytokine production ex vivo. Lepirudin-anticoagulated human whole blood from 10 healthy donors was incubated in the presence or absence of Escherichia coli at different temperatures (4 °C, 12 °C, 20 °C, 33 °C, 37 °C, 39 °C, and 41 °C). Complement activation was assessed by the terminal C5b-9 complement complex (TCC) and the alternative convertase C3bBbP using ELISA. Cytokines were measured using a 27-plex assay. Granulocyte and monocyte activation was evaluated by CD11b surface expression using flow cytometry. A consistent increase in complement activation was observed with rising temperature, reaching a maximum at 41 °C, both in the absence (C3bBbP p < 0.05) and presence (C3bBbP p < 0.05 and TCC p < 0.05) of E. coli. Temperature alone did not affect cytokine production, whereas incubation with E. coli significantly increased cytokine levels of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IFN-γ, and TNF at temperatures > 20 °C. Maximum increase occurred at 39 °C. However, a consistent decrease was observed at 41 °C, significant for IL-1β (p = 0.003). Granulocyte CD11b displayed the same temperature-dependent pattern as cytokines, with a corresponding increase in endothelial cell apoptosis and necrosis. Thus, blood temperature differentially determines the degree of complement activation and cytokine release.

Hypothermia as an Adjunctive Therapy to Percutaneous Intervention in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Control Trials. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2023; 47:8-15.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the setting of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), several randomized control trials (RCTs) suggested a potential benefit with the use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH). However, results from previous studies are contradictory. METHOD We performed a comprehensive literature search for studies that evaluated the efficacy and safety of adjunctive TH compared to the standard percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in awake patients with STEMI. The primary outcomes were the infarct size (IS) and microvascular obstruction (MVO) assessed by cardiac imaging at the end of follow-up. The secondary outcomes were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), procedure-related complications, and door-to-balloon time. Relative risk (RR) or the mean difference (MD) and corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 10 RCTs, including 706 patients were included. As compared to standard PCI, TH was not associated with a statistically significant improvement in the IS (MD: -0.87 %, 95%CI: -2.97, 1.23; P = 0.42) or in the MVO (MD: 0.11 %, 95%CI: -0.06, 0.27; P = 0.21). MACE and its components were comparable between the two groups. However, the TH approach was associated with an increased risk of infection and prolonged door-to-balloon time. Furthermore, there was a trend in the TH group toward an increased incidence of stent thrombosis and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. CONCLUSIONS According to our meta-analysis of published RCTs, TH is not beneficial in awake patients with STEMI and has a marginal safety profile with potential for care delays. Larger-scale RCTs are needed to further clarify our results.

Abstract
Reperfusion injury is an unfortunate consequence of restoring blood flow to tissue after a period of ischemia. This phenomenon can occur in any organ, although it has been best studied in cardiac cells. Based on cardiovascular studies, neuroprotective strategies have been developed. The molecular biology of reperfusion injury remains to be fully elucidated involving several mechanisms, however these mechanisms all converge on a similar final common pathway: blood brain barrier disruption. This results in an inflammatory cascade that ultimately leads to a loss of cerebral autoregulation and clinical worsening. In this article, the authors present an overview of these mechanisms and the current strategies being employed to minimize injury after restoration of blood flow to compromised cerebral territories.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients suffering cardiac arrest resulting from ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at very high risk of death. In addition to reperfusion strategies, therapeutic hypothermia is recommended for cardiac arrest patients who remain unconscious after resuscitation. However, data analysis of the impact of therapeutic hypothermia on survival showed inconsistent results. We aimed to investigate the benefits of therapeutic hypothermia in STEMI patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). METHODS Patients with STEMI who received CPR were identified after nationwide German inpatient data (2005-2019) were screened. These patients were stratified for therapeutic hypothermia. The impact of hypothermia on mortality and adverse in-hospital outcomes was analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 133,070 inpatients with STEMI and CPR (53.3% aged ≥70 years; 34% females) were recorded in Germany between 2005 and 2019, of which 12.3% (16,386 patients) underwent therapeutic hypothermia. Females (23.8 vs. 35.4%, p < 0.001) and patients aged ≥70 years (34.9 vs. 55.9%, p < 0.001) were less frequently treated with therapeutic hypothermia. The in-hospital case fatality rate was lower for STEMI with CPR and subsequent therapeutic hypothermia than for treatment without therapeutic hypothermia (53.5 vs. 66.7%, p < 0.001). Therapeutic hypothermia was independently associated with a reduced in-hospital case fatality rate {OR 0.83 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.80-0.86], p < 0.001}. In addition, therapeutic hypothermia was associated with an increased risk for stroke (OR 1.37 [95% CI 1.25-1.49], p < 0.001), pneumonia (OR 1.75 [95% CI 1.68-1.82], p < 0.001), and acute kidney injury (OR 2.21 [95% CI 2.07-2.35], p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Therapeutic hypothermia is associated with a survival benefit for STEMI patients after cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Stroke kills or disables approximately 15 million people worldwide each year. It is the leading cause of brain injury, resulting in persistent neurological deficits and profound physical handicaps. In spite of over 100 clinical trials, stroke treatment modalities are limited in applicability and efficacy, and therefore, identification of new therapeutic modalities is required to combat this growing problem. Poststroke oxidative damage and lactic acidosis are widely-recognized forms of brain ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, treatments directed at these injury mechanisms have not been effective. In this review, we offer a novel approach combining these well-established damage mechanisms with new insights into brain glucose handling. Specifically, emerging evidence of brain gluconeogenesis provides a missing link for understanding oxidative injury and lactate toxicity after ischemia. Therefore, dysfunctional gluconeogenesis may substantially contribute to oxidative and lactate damage. We further review that hypothermia initiated early in ischemia and before reperfusion may ameliorate gluconeogenic dysfunction and subsequently provide an important mechanism of hypothermic protection. We will focus on the efficacy of pharmacologically assisted hypothermia and suggest a combination that minimizes side effects. Together, this study will advance our knowledge of basic mechanisms of ischemic damage and apply this knowledge to develop new therapeutic strategies that are desperately needed in the clinical treatment of stroke.

Abstract
AIM To determine the safety and feasibility of an early (12 h) waking and extubation protocol for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients receiving targeted temperature management (TTM). METHODS This was a single-centre, prospective, non-randomised, observational, safety and feasibility pilot study which included successfully resuscitated OHCA patients, of presumed cardiac cause. Inclusion criteria were: OHCA patients aged over 18 years with a return of spontaneous circulation, who were going to receive TTM33 (TTM at 33 °C for 24 h and prevention of hyperthermia for 72 h) as part of their post cardiac arrest care. Clinical stability was measured against physiological and neurological parameters as well as clinical assessment. RESULTS 50 consecutive patients were included (median age 65.5 years, 82% male) in the study. Four (8%) patients died within the first twelve hours and were excluded from the final cohort (n = 46). Twenty-three patients (46%) were considered clinically stable and suitable for early waking based on the intention to treat analysis; 12 patients were extubated early based on a variety of clinical factors (21.4 ± 8.6 h) whilst continuing to receive TTM33 with a mean core temperature of 34.2 °C when extubated. Of these, five patients were discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU) <48 h after admission with a mean ICU length of stay 1.8 ± 0.4 days. Twenty-eight patients (56%) were discharged from the ICU with a modified Rankin Score of 0-2. The overall intra-hospital mortality was 50% (n = 25). CONCLUSIONS It is safe and feasible to wake selected comatose OHCA patients at 12 h, allowing for earlier positive neuro-prognostication and reduced ICU stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite primary PCI (PPCI), ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can still result in large infarct size (IS). New technology with rapid intravascular cooling showed positive signals for reduction in IS in anterior STEMI. AIMS We investigated the effectiveness and safety of rapid systemic intravascular hypothermia as an adjunct to PPCI in conscious patients, with anterior STEMI, without cardiac arrest. METHODS Hypothermia was induced using the ZOLL® Proteus™ intravascular cooling system. After randomisation of 111 patients, 58 to hypothermia and 53 to control groups, the study was prematurely discontinued by the sponsor due to inconsistent patient logistics between the groups resulting in significantly longer total ischaemic delay in the hypothermia group (232 vs 188 minutes; p<0.001). RESULTS There were no differences in angiographic features and PPCI result between the groups. Intravascular temperature at wire crossing was 33.3+0.9°C. Infarct size/left ventricular (IS/LV) mass by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) at day 4-6 was 21.3% in the hypothermia group and 20.0% in the control group (p=0.540). Major adverse cardiac events at 30 days increased non-significantly in the hypothermia group (8.6% vs 1.9%; p=0.117) while cardiogenic shock (10.3% vs 0%; p=0.028) and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (43.1% vs 3.8%; p<0.001) were significantly more frequent in the hypothermia group. CONCLUSIONS The ZOLL Proteus intravascular cooling system reduced temperature to 33.3°C before PPCI in patients with anterior STEMI. Due to inconsistent patient logistics between the groups, this hypothermia protocol resulted in a longer ischaemic delay, did not reduce IS/LV mass and was associated with increased adverse events.

Abstract
Myocardial reperfusion injury-triggered by an inevitable inflammatory response after reperfusion-may undo a considerable part of the myocardial salvage achieved through timely percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Because infarct size is strongly correlated to mortality and risk of heart failure, the importance of endeavors for cardioprotective therapies to attenuate myocardial reperfusion injury and decrease infarct size remains undisputed. Myocardial reperfusion injury is the result of several complex nonlinear phenomena, and for a therapy to be effective, it should act on multiple targets involved in this injury. In this regard, hypothermia remains a promising treatment despite a number of negative randomized controlled trials in humans with acute myocardial infarction so far. To turn the tide for hypothermia in patients with acute myocardial infarction, sophisticated solutions for important limitations of systemic hypothermia should continue to be developed. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiology and clinical expression of myocardial reperfusion injury and discuss the current status and possible future of hypothermia for cardioprotection in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Temperature management is an essential element of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), as indicated in the Guide to Good Practice in Clinical Perfusion, 'The safe conduct of CPB requires the clinical perfusionist to measure and control. . . blood temperature. . . during the period of bypass'. To review current practice, we have conducted a research survey into the management of temperature on CPB. Surveys were distributed to each centre in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland, investigating numerous temperature management practices, to elucidate current practice and assess if recent research into temperature management marry routine clinical practice. Our results demonstrate that nasopharyngeal temperature is the most common (52%) temperature site used across the many centres, which correlates with previous research as a routine site for cerebral temperature management. The arterial outlet of the oxygenator temperature was used in 33% of centres, however, all centres lacked the knowledge to maintain this temperature below 37°C. There was significant variation between all centres, especially regarding rewarming times (20-40 minutes), demonstrating a lack of uniformity among perfusion centres. Interestingly, most centres have been using the same protocol that has been in place over the previous 10 years.To conclude, the practice of temperature management is changing with the awareness of new research. Lower target temperatures are recommended for rewarming, ensuring a lower temperature gradient and a longer mean rewarming time.

Abstract
Background Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is a well-established neuroprotective therapy applied in (near) term asphyxiated infants. However, little is known regarding the effects of TH on renal and/or myocardial function. Objectives To describe the short- and long-term effects of TH on renal and myocardial function in asphyxiated (near) term neonates. Methods An electronic search strategy incorporating MeSH terms and keywords was performed in October 2019 and updated in June 2020 using PubMed and Cochrane databases. Inclusion criteria consisted of a RCT or observational cohort design, intervention with TH in a setting of perinatal asphyxia and available long-term results on renal and myocardial function. We performed a meta-analysis and heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses using a random effects model. Subgroup analysis was performed on the method of cooling. Results Of the 107 studies identified on renal function, 9 were included. None of the studies investigated the effects of TH on long-term renal function after perinatal asphyxia. The nine included studies described the effect of TH on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after perinatal asphyxia. Meta-analysis showed a significant difference between the incidence of AKI in neonates treated with TH compared to the control group (RR = 0.81; 95% CI 0.67–0.98; p = 0.03). No studies were found investigating the long-term effects of TH on myocardial function after neonatal asphyxia. Possible short-term beneficial effects were presented in 4 out of 5 identified studies, as observed by significant reductions in cardiac biomarkers and less findings of myocardial dysfunction on ECG and cardiac ultrasound. Conclusions TH in asphyxiated neonates reduces the incidence of AKI, an important risk factor for chronic kidney damage, and thus is potentially renoprotective. No studies were found on the long-term effects of TH on myocardial function. Short-term outcome studies suggest a cardioprotective effect.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia has been used for treating brain injury after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Its potential benefit on minimizing myocardial ischemic injury has been explored, but clinical evidence has yet to confirm positive results in preclinical studies. Importantly, therapeutic hypothermia for myocardial infarction is unique in that it can be initiated prior to reperfusion, in contrast to its application for brain injury in resuscitated cardiac arrest patients. Recent advance in cooling technology allows more rapid cooling of the heart than ever and new clinical trials are designed to examine the efficacy of rapid therapeutic hypothermia for myocardial infarction. In this review, we summarize current knowledge regarding the effect of hypothermia on normal and ischemic hearts and discuss issues to be solved in order to realize its clinical application for treating acute myocardial infarction.

METHODS Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were studied in 4 groups: (1) sham; (2) stroke; (3) stroke treated with pharmacological hypothermia before reperfusion (interischemia hypothermia); and (4) stroke treated with pharmacological hypothermia after reperfusion is initiated (inter-reperfusion hypothermia). The combination of chlorpromazine and promethazine with dihydrocapsaicin (DHC) was used to induce hypothermia. To compare the neuroprotective effects of drug-induced hypothermia between the interischemia and inter-reperfusion groups, brain damage was evaluated using infarct volume and neurological deficits at 24 h reperfusion. In addition, mRNA expressions of NADPH oxidase (NOX) subunits (gp91phox, p67phox, p47phox, and p22phox) and glucose transporter subtypes (GLUT1 and GLUT3) were determined by real-time PCR at 6 and 24 h reperfusion. ROS production was measured by flow cytometry assay at the same time points. RESULTS In both hypothermia groups, the cerebral infarct volumes and neurological deficits were reduced in the ischemic rats. At 6 and 24 h reperfusion, ROS production and the expressions of NOX subunits and glucose transporter subtypes were also significantly reduced in both hypothermia groups as compared to the ischemic group. While there were no statistically significant differences between the two hypothermia groups at 6 h reperfusion, brain damage was significantly further decreased by interischemia hypothermia at 24 h. CONCLUSION Both interischemia and inter-reperfusion pharmacological hypothermia treatments play a role in neuroprotection after stroke. Interischemia hypothermia treatment may be better able to induce stronger neuroprotection after ischemic stroke. This study provides a new avenue and reference for stronger neuroprotective hypothermia before vascular recanalization in stroke patients.

Abstract
In this review article we tried to find an answer to the question, should local coronary hypothermia be a part of the early reperfusion strategy in patients with STEMI to prevent reperfusion injury, no-reflow phenomenon, and to reduce the infarct size and mortality. Hypothermia can save cardiomyocytes if achieved in a timely fashion before reperfusion. Intracoronary hypothermia can be adjunct to PCI by lessening ischemia/reperfusion injury on cardiomyocytes and reduction in infarct size. Reperfusion induced Calcium overload, generation of ROS and subsequent activation of Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPT) are major contributors to reperfusion injury. Hypothermia reduces calcium loading of the cell and maintains cellular energy and tissue level glucose which can scavenger ROS. Hypothermia reduces MPT activation and thus reduces infarct size. Systemic cooling trials failed to reduce infarct size, perhaps because the target temperature was not reached fast enough, and it was associated with systemic side effects. The need for rapid induction of hypothermia to <35 °C with the ethical concern of delaying reperfusion while cooling the patient and the inconsistency of endovascular cooling results lead to a belief that endovascular cooling may exceed the acceptable level of invasiveness in the context of other novels cardioprotective, regenerative and reperfusion therapies. Clinical trials showed the safety and feasibility of novel intracoronary hypothermia with rapid induction and maintenance of hypothermia using routine PCI equipment ahead of reperfusion. Two phases of cooling were applied without significant delay in the door to balloon time. Cooling of the coronary artery leads to cooling of its dependant myocardium without affecting adjacent myocardium. Heat transfer occurred by heat conduction during the occlusion phase and heat convention during the reperfusion phase. Fine-tuning of saline temperature and infusion rate helped to improve the protocol. The best duration of hypothermia before and after reperfusion is not known and needs further investigation. A balance between the undoubted cardioprotective effects of hypothermia with iatrogenic prolongation of ischemia time needs to be established. A reduction in infarct size was observed but needs to be validated with large randomized trials. Furthermore, it might be possible to augment the cardioprotective effects of intracoronary hypothermia by combination with other cardioprotective approaches such as antioxidant drugs and afterload reducing agents.

Abstract
Despite the increasing use and success of interventional coronary reperfusion strategies, morbidity and mortality from acute myocardial infarction are still substantial. Myocardial infarct size is a major determinant of prognosis in these patients. Therefore, cardioprotective strategies aim to reduce infarct size. However, a perplexing gap exists between the many preclinical studies reporting infarct size reduction with mechanical and pharmacological interventions and the poor translation into better clinical outcomes in patients. This Review revisits the pathophysiology of myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, including the role of autophagy and forms of cell death such as necrosis, apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis. Other cellular compartments in addition to cardiomyocytes are addressed, notably the coronary microcirculation. Preclinical and clinical research developments in mechanical and pharmacological approaches to induce cardioprotection, and their signal transduction pathways, are discussed. Additive cardioprotective interventions are advocated. For clinical translation into treatments for patients with acute myocardial infarction, who typically are of advanced age, have comorbidities and are receiving several medications, not only infarct size reduction but also attenuation of coronary microvascular obstruction, as well as longer-term targets including infarct repair and reverse remodelling, must be considered to improve patient outcomes. Future clinical trials must focus on patients who really need adjunct cardioprotection, that is, those with severe haemodynamic alterations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the role of systemic therapeutic hypothermia remains controversial. We sought to investigate the role of systemic therapeutic hypothermia versus standard of care in patients with acute MI treated with PCI. METHODS This is a study-level meta-analysis of randomized trials. The primary outcome was all-cause death. The main secondary outcome was infarct size. Other secondary outcomes were recurrent MI, ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization (TVR), major adverse cardiovascular events, and bleeding. RESULTS A total of 1012 patients with acute MI receiving a PCI in nine trials (503 randomly assigned to hypothermia and 509 to control) were available for the quantitative synthesis. The weighted median follow-up was 30 days. As compared to controls, patients assigned to hypothermia had similar risk of all-cause death (risk ratio, [95% confidence intervals], 1.25 [0.80; 1.95], p = 0.32), with a trend toward higher risk of ischemia-driven TVR (3.55 [0.80; 15.87], p = 0.09) mostly due to acute or subacute stent thrombosis. Although in the overall cohort, infarct size was comparable between groups (standardized mean difference [95% Confidence intervals], 0.06 [- 0.92; 1.04], p = 0.92), patients effectively achieving the protocol-defined target temperature in the hypothermia group had smaller infarct size as compared to controls (p for interaction = 0.016). Treatment strategies did not differ with respect to the other outcomes. CONCLUSIONS As compared to standard of care, systemic therapeutic hypothermia in acute MI patients treated with PCI provided similar mortality with a signal toward more frequent repeat revascularization. Among patients assigned to hypothermia, those effectively achieving the protocol-defined target temperature displayed smaller infarct size. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO, CRD42019138754.

Abstract
The damage caused by ischemic stroke is mostly refractory to medical therapies and amounts to a substantial degree of mortality and morbidity in the world. The core tenet of treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is to save 'reversible' ischemic tissue (ischemic penumbra) as quickly as possible within a limited therapeutic time window. The neuroprotective effect of hypothermia has been proven previously in a large number of animal experiments and clinical trials. Some of these animal and human studies have shown that pre-reperfusion hypothermia can reduce myocardial infarction and improve clinical outcomes. However, to date, there is little research about hypothermia before reperfusion in the animal model and human study of AIS. This review will explore possible benefits of the application of pre-reperfusion hypothermia in the setting of AIS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to examine the relationship between temperature at reperfusion and infarct size. BACKGROUND Hypothermia consistently reduces infarct size when administered prior to reperfusion in animal studies, however, clinical results have been inconsistent. METHODS We performed a patient-level pooled analysis from six randomized control trials of endovascular cooling during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in 629 patients in which infarct size was assessed within 1 month after randomization by either single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMR). RESULTS In anterior infarct patients, after controlling for variability between studies, mean infarct size in controls was 21.3 (95%CI 17.4-25.3) and in patients with hypothermia <35°C it was 14.8 (95%CI 10.1-19.6), which was a statistically significant absolute reduction of 6.5%, or a 30% relative reduction in infarct size (P = 0.03). There was no significant difference in infarct size in anterior ≥35°C, or inferior infarct patients. There was no difference in the incidence of death, ventricular arrhythmias, or re-infarction due to stent thrombosis between hypothermia and control patients. CONCLUSIONS The present study, drawn from a patient-level pooled analysis of six randomized trials of endovascular cooling during primary PCI in STEMI, showed a significant reduction in infarct size in patients with anterior STEMI who were cooled to <35°C at the time of reperfusion. The results support the need for trials in patients with anterior STEMI using more powerful cooling devices to optimize the delivery of hypothermia prior to reperfusion.

Abstract
The incidence of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has decreased over the last two decades in developed countries, but mortality from STEMI despite widespread access to reperfusion therapy is still substantial as is the development of heart failure, particularly among an expanding older population. In developing countries, the incidence of STEMI is increasing and interventional reperfusion is often not available. We here review the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion, notably the temporal and spatial evolution of ischaemic and reperfusion injury, the different modes of cell death, and the resulting coronary microvascular dysfunction. We then go on to briefly characterize the cardioprotective phenomena of ischaemic preconditioning, ischaemic postconditioning, and remote ischaemic conditioning and their underlying signal transduction pathways. We discuss in detail the attempts to translate conditioning strategies and drug therapy into the clinical setting. Most attempts have failed so far to reduce infarct size and improve clinical outcomes in STEMI patients, and we discuss potential reasons for such failure. Currently, it appears that remote ischaemic conditioning and a few drugs (atrial natriuretic peptide, exenatide, metoprolol, and esmolol) reduce infarct size, but studies with clinical outcome as primary endpoint are still underway.

Abstract
Despite more than 80 years of animal experiments and clinical practice, efficacy of hypothermia in improving treatment outcomes in patients suffering from cell and tissue damage caused by ischemia is still ongoing. This review will first describe the history of utilizing cooling in medical treatment, followed by chemical and biochemical mechanisms of cooling that can lead to neuroprotection often observed in animal studies and some clinical studies. The next sections will be focused on current cooling approaches/devices, as well as cooling parameters recommended by researchers and clinicians. Animal and clinical studies of implementing hypothermia to spinal cord and brain tissue injury patients are presented next. This section will review the latest outcomes of hypothermia in treating patients suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke, cardiopulmonary surgery, and cardiac arrest, followed by a summary of available evidence regarding both demonstrated neuroprotection and potential risks of hypothermia. Contributions from bioengineers to the field of hypothermia in medical treatment will be discussed in the last section of this review. Overall, an accumulating body of clinical evidence along with several decades of animal research and mathematical simulations has documented that the efficacy of hypothermia is dependent on achieving a reduced temperature in the target tissue before or soon after the injury-precipitating event. Mild hypothermia with temperature reduction of several degrees Celsius is as effective as modest or deep hypothermia in providing therapeutic benefit without introducing collateral/systemic complications. It is widely demonstrated that the rewarming rate must be controlled to be lower than 0.5 °C/h to avoid mismatch between local blood perfusion and metabolism. In the past several decades, many different cooling methods and devices have been designed, tested, and used in medical treatments with mixed results. Accurately designing treatment protocols to achieve specific cooling outcomes requires collaboration among engineers, researchers, and clinicians. Although this problem is quite challenging, it presents a major opportunity for bioengineers to create methods and devices that quickly and safely produce hypothermia in targeted tissue regions without interfering with routine medical treatment.

Abstract
The atherosclerotic coronary vasculature is not only the culprit but also a victim of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Manifestations of such injury are increased vascular permeability and edema, endothelial dysfunction and impaired vasomotion, microembolization of atherothrombotic debris, stasis with intravascular cell aggregates, and finally, in its most severe form, capillary destruction with hemorrhage. In animal experiments, local and remote ischemic pre- and postconditioning not only reduce infarct size but also these manifestations of coronary vascular injury, as do drugs which recruit signal transduction steps of conditioning. Clinically, no-reflow is frequently seen after interventional reperfusion, and it carries an adverse prognosis. The translation of cardioprotective interventions to clinical practice has been difficult to date. Only 4 drugs (brain natriuretic peptide, exenatide, metoprolol, and esmolol) stand unchallenged to date in reducing infarct size in patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction; unfortunately, for these drugs, no information on their impact on the ischemic/reperfused coronary circulation is available.

Moderate therapeutic hypothermia induces multimodal protective effects in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion injured cardiomyocytes. Mitochondrion 2017; 35:1-10. [PMID: 28396253 DOI: 10.1016/j.mito.2017.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2016] [Revised: 03/01/2017] [Accepted: 04/04/2017] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to attenuate myocardial cell death due to ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, cellular mechanisms of cooling remain to be elucidated. Especially during reperfusion, mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to cell death by releasing apoptosis inductors. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of moderate therapeutic hypothermia (33.5°C) on mitochondrial mediated apoptosis in ischemia/reperfusion-injured cardiomyocytes. METHODS Ischemic injury was simulated by oxygen-glucose deprivation for 6h in glucose/serum-free medium at 0.2% O2 in mouse atrial HL-1 cardiomyocytes. Simulation of reperfusion was achieved by restoration of nutrients in complete supplemented medium and incubation at 21% O2. Early application of therapeutic hypothermia, cooling during the oxygen-glucose deprivation phase, was initiated after 3h of oxygen-glucose deprivation and maintained for 24h. Mitochondrial membrane integrity was assessed by cytochrome c and AIF protein releases. Furthermore, mitochondria were stained with MitoTracker Red and intra-cellular cytochrome c localization was visualized by immunofluorescence staining. Moreover, anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and Hsp70 as well as phagophore promoting LC3-II protein expressions were analyzed by Western-blot analysis. RESULTS Therapeutic hypothermia initiated during oxygen-glucose deprivation significantly reduced mitochondrial release of cytochrome c and AIF in cardiomyocytes during reperfusion. Secondly, anti-apoptotic Bcl-2/Bax ratio and Hsp70 protein expressions were significantly upregulated due to hypothermia, indicating an inhibition of both caspase-dependent and -independent apoptosis. Furthermore, cardiomyocytes treated with therapeutic hypothermia showed increased LC3-II protein levels associated with the mitochondria during the first 3h of reperfusion, indicating the initiation of phagophores formation and sequestration of presumably damaged mitochondrion. CONCLUSION Early application of therapeutic hypothermia effectively inhibited cardiomyocyte cell death due to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion-induced injury via multiple pathways. As hypothermia preserved mitochondrial membrane integrity, which resulted in reduced cytochrome c and AIF releases, induction of both caspase-dependent and -independent apoptosis was minimized. Secondly, cooling attenuated intrinsic apoptosis via Hsp70 upregulation and increasing anti-apoptotic Bcl-2/Bax ratio. Moreover, therapeutic hypothermia promoted mitochondrial associated LC3-II during the early phase of reperfusion, possibly leading to the sequestration and degradation of damaged mitochondrion to attenuate the activation of cell death.

Abstract
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a Workshop on September 20-21, 2010, “New Horizons in Cardioprotection,” to identify future research directions for cardioprotection against ischemia and reperfusion injury. Since the early 1970s, there has been evidence that the size of a myocardial infarction could be altered by various interventions. Early coronary artery reperfusion has been an intervention that consistently reduces myocardial infarct size in animal models as well as humans. Most cardiologists agree that the best way to treat acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is to reperfuse the infarct artery as soon as possible and to keep the infarct artery patent. In general, stenting is superior to angioplasty, which is superior to thrombolysis. There is no accepted adjunctive therapy to acutely limit myocardial infarct size along with reperfusion that is routinely used in clinical practice. In the Kloner experimental laboratory, some adjunctive therapies have reproducibly limited infarct size (regional hypothermia, preconditioning, cariporide, combinations of the above, remote preconditioning, certain adenosine agonists, and late sodium current blockade). In clinical trials, a host of pharmacologic adjunctive therapies have failed to either reduce infarct size or improve clinical outcome. Potential reasons for the failure of these trials are discussed. However, some adjunctive therapies have shown promise in data subanalyses or subpopulations of clinical trials (adenosine, therapeutic hypothermia, and hyperoxemic reperfusion) or in small clinical trials (atrial natriuretic peptide, ischemic postconditioning, and cyclosporine, the mitochondrial permeability transition pore inhibitor). A recent clinical trial with remote conditioning induced by repetitive inflation of a brachial artery cuff begun prior to hospitalization showed promise in improving myocardial salvage and there are several reports in the cardiothoracic literature, suggesting that remote preconditioning protects hearts during surgery. Thus, in 2011, there is hope that applying some of the body’s own conditioning mechanisms may provide protection against ischemic damage.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia has demonstrated to improve both survival and neurological outcome in patients who experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Nevertheless, many aspects of its clinical application are still controversial. Current guidelines recommend to cool patients who survive a cardiac arrest due to either ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, whereas the beneficial effect of lowering body temperature in nonshockable rhythms is still questionable due to the lack of randomized controlled trial involving this subgroup of patients. Although therapeutic hypothermia is often begun before hospital arrival, the optimal time to start cooling is still a matter of debate. Furthermore, different methods are available to low body temperature, but no direct comparisons are available to establish which device performs better than others, and a combination of external and endovascular cooling is usually preferred. The present review is aimed at summarizing the available evidence supporting the use in clinical practice of mild hypothermia in comatose survivors from cardiac arrest and at evaluating its adverse events and their treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our objective is to gain a better understanding of the efficacy and safety of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) through an analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). BACKGROUND Several RCTs have suggested a positive outcome with the use of TH in the prevention of myocardial injury in the setting of an acute STEMI. However, there are currently no clinical trials that have conclusively shown any significant benefit. METHODS Electronic databases were used to identify RCTs of TH in the patient population with STEMI. The primary efficacy end point was major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE). Secondary efficacy end points included all-cause mortality, infarct size, new myocardial infarction and heart failure/pulmonary oedema (HF/PO). All-bleeding, ventricular arrhythmias and bradycardias were recorded as the safety end points. RESULTS Six RCTs were included in this meta-analysis, enrolling a total of 819 patients. There was no significant benefit from TH in preventing MACE (OR, 01.04; 95% CI 0.37 to 2.89), all-cause mortality (OR, 1.48; 95% CI 0.68 to 3.19), new myocardial infarction (OR, 0.99; 95% CI 0.20 to 4.94), HF/PO (OR, 0.52; 95% CI 0.15 to 1.77) or infarct size (standard difference of the mean (SDM), -0.1; 95% CI -0.23 to 0.04). However, a significant reduction of infarct size was observed with TH utilisation in anterior wall myocardial infarction (SDM, -0.23; 95% CI -0.45 to -0.02). There was no significant difference seen for the safety end points all-bleeding (OR 1.32; 95% CI 0.77 to 2.24), ventricular arrhythmias (OR, 0.85; 95% CI 0.54 to 1.36) or bradycardias (OR, 1.16; 95% CI 0.74 to 1.83). CONCLUSIONS Although TH appears to be safe in patients with STEMI, meta-analysis of published RCTs indicates that benefit is limited to reduction of infarct size in patients with anterior wall involvement with no demonstrable effect on all-cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction or HF/PO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypothermia (32-34 °C) can mitigate ischemic brain injury, and some evidence suggests that it can reduce infarct size in acute myocardial infarction and acute ischemic stroke. For some indications, speed of cooling may be crucial in determining efficacy. We performed a multicenter prospective intervention study to test an ultrarapid cooling technology, the Velomedix Automated Peritoneal Lavage System using ice-cold fluids continuously circulating through the peritoneal cavity to rapidly induce and maintain hypothermia in comatose patients after cardiac arrest and a small number of awake patients with acute myocardial infarction. DESIGN Multicenter prospective intervention study. SETTING Intensive care- and coronary care units of multiple tertiary referral centers. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Access to the peritoneal cavity was gained using a modified blunt dilating instrument, followed by catheter placement. Patients were cooled to a temperature of 32.5 °C, maintained for 24 hours (cardiac arrest) or 3 hours (acute myocardial infarction) followed by controlled rewarming. Forty-nine patients were enrolled, and 46 patients completed treatment. One placement was unsuccessful (abdominal wall not breached), two patients were ultimately not cooled, and only safety data are reported. Average catheter insertion time was 2.3 minutes. Mean time to temperature less than 33 °C was 10.4 minutes (average cooling rate, 14 °C/hr). Median infarct size in patients who had coronary interventions was 16% of LV. No cases of stent thrombosis occurred. Survival in cardiac arrest patients with initial rhythm of ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation was 56%, of whom 82 had a complete neurologic recovery. This compares favorably to outcomes from previous studies. CONCLUSION Automated peritoneal lavage system is a safe and ultrarapid method to induce and maintain hypothermia, which appears feasible in cardiac arrest patients and awake patients with acute myocardial infarction. The shivering response appeared to be delayed and much reduced with this technology, diminishing metabolic disorders associated with cooling and minimizing sedation requirement. Our data suggest that ultrarapid cooling could prevent subtle neurologic damage compared with slower cooling. This will need to be confirmed in direct comparative studies.

Abstract
Current guidelines recommend a period of moderate therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for comatose patients after cardiac arrest to improve clinical outcomes. However, in-vitro studies have reported platelet dysfunction, thrombocytopenia, and coagulopathy, results that might discourage clinicians from applying TH in clinical practice. We aimed to quantify the risks of hemorrhage observed in clinical studies.Medline and Embase were searched from inception to October 2015.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing patients undergoing TH with controls were selected, irrespective of the indications for TH. There were no restrictions for language, population, or publication year.Data on study characteristics, which included patients, details of intervention, and outcome measures, were extracted.Forty-three trials that included 7528 patients were identified from 2692 potentially relevant references. Any hemorrhage was designated as the primary outcome and was reported in 28 studies. The pooled results showed no significant increase in hemorrhage risk associated with TH (risk difference [RD] 0.005; 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.001-0.011; I, 0%). Among secondary outcomes, patients undergoing TH were found to have increased risk of thrombocytopenia (RD 0.109; 95% CI 0.038-0.179; I 57.3%) and transfusion requirements (RD 0.021; 95% CI 0.003-0.040; I 0%). The meta-regression analysis indicated that prolonged duration of cooling may be associated with increased risk of hemorrhage.TH was not associated with increased risk of hemorrhage despite the increased risk of thrombocytopenia and transfusion requirements. Clinicians should cautiously assess each patient's risk-benefit profile before applying TH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Trials demonstrate significant clinical benefit in patients receiving therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after cardiac arrest. However, incidence of mortality and morbidity remains high in this patient group. Rapid targeted brain hypothermia induction, together with prompt correction of the underlying cause may improve outcomes in these patients. This study investigates the efficacy of Rhinochill, an intranasal cooling device over Blanketrol, a surface cooling device in inducing TH in cardiac arrest patients within the cardiac catheter laboratory. METHODS 70 patients were randomized to TH induction with either Rhinochill or Blanketrol. Primary outcome measures were time to reach tympanic ≤34 °C from randomisation as a surrogate for brain temperature and oesophageal ≤34 °C from randomisation as a measurement of core body temperature. Secondary outcomes included first hour temperature drop, length of stay in intensive care unit, hospital stay, neurological recovery and all-cause mortality at hospital discharge. RESULTS There was no difference in time to reach ≤34 °C between Rhinochill and Blanketrol (Tympanic ≤34 °C, 75 vs. 107 mins; p=0.101; Oesophageal ≤34 °C, 85 vs. 115 mins; p=0.151). Tympanic temperature dropped significantly with Rhinochill in the first hour (1.75 vs. 0.94 °C; p<0.001). No difference was detected in any other secondary outcome measures. Catheter laboratory-based TH induction resulted in a survival to hospital discharge of 67.1%. CONCLUSION In this study, Rhinochill was not found to be more efficient than Blanketrol for TH induction, although there was a non-significant trend in favour of Rhinochill that potentially warrants further investigation with a larger trial.
