Cold Comfort
Trauma patients are at increased risk for hypothermia, which in turn increases their mortality risk. ED, trauma, and OR nurses must be well-informed about hypothermia so they may intervene appropriately. This module will explore the risk factors and effects of hypothermia on the critically injured patient and examine the nurse’s role in recognizing, preventing, and treating this potentially deadly condition.

Frozen Back to Life

Traditionally, advanced cardiac life support measures after cardiac arrest focused solely on ensuring the return of spontaneous circulation with medications and electricity. Once circulation was re-established, advanced cardiac life support algorithms stopped. Healthcare providers did not focus on the continued effects of the cardiac arrest, such as the ongoing actions of free radicals and nitric oxide in the brain that were contributing to ongoing nervous system degeneration. But in 2003, the American Heart Association began addressing these changes by recommending a therapy that has come to be known as therapeutic hypothermia. Therapeutic hypothermia is a process of reducing a patient's core body temperature. This program informs healthcare professionals about therapeutic hypothermia, including its history, indications for use and possible future uses. It also describes nursing care for patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. American Heart Association updates are also discussed, including the use of "targeted temperature management" as the preferred name for this treatment.
