Mild hypothermia is effective in treating cardiac arrest from ventricular fibrillation and neonatal hypoxic injury, leading to better neurological and cognitive outcomes.

“in fact it was finally shown in the early 2000s in prospec of randomized studies that one type of stroke actually two types I should say two types of stroke are benefited by cooling the brain quickly one is cardiac arrest from ventricular fibrillation and prospective studies which were published in 2002 showed that if you uh cool patients who have cardiac arrest and then are resuscitated out in the field down to between 32 and 34 degrees Centigrade from 37 much better outcomes neurologically”
