Abstract

Time to awakening after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and post-resuscitation therapeutic hypothermia (TH) varies widely. We examined the time interval from when comatose OHCA patients were rewarmed to 37°C to when they showed definitive signs of neurological recovery and tried to identify potential predictors of awakening.
