Background: Good neurological outcome after cardiac arrest is difficult to achieve. Interventions during the resuscitation phase and treatment within the first hours after the event are critical for a favourable prognosis. Experimental evidence suggests that therapeutic hypothermia is beneficial, and several clinical studies on this topic have been published.

While electrolyte disorders are common in nephrologists' clinical practice, hypothermia is a condition that nephrologists rarely encounter. Hypothermia can induce several pathophysiological effects on the human body, including hypokalaemia, which is reversible with rewarming. Despite growing evidence from animal research and human studies, the underlying mechanisms of hypothermia-induced hypokalaemia remain unclear.

The proarrhythmic effects of hypothermia in atria isolated from 5-HT-receptor-overexpressing mice.

Eur J Pharmacol

We investigated whether hypothermia would be arrhythmogenic in mice that overexpress the human 5-HT receptor only in their cardiac myocytes (5-HT-TG). Contractile studies were performed in isolated, electrically driven (1 Hz) left and spontaneously beating right atrial preparations of 5-HT-TG and littermate wild-type control mice (WT). Hypothermia (23 °C) decreased the force of contraction in the mouse right and left atrial preparations.

Background: Pre-intensive care unit (ICU) induction of targeted temperature management (TTM) with cold intravenous (i.v.) fluids does not appear to improve outcomes after in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
