Counter Warming May reduce incidence of shivering Tricks skin receptors into believing the body is warm Warm air circulating may be used to cover these areas 1. Bader, MK. & Littlejohn, LR. (2009).

Shivering Management Counter warming is the first line therapy for shivering treatment 1 Sedation prevents increased metabolism 1 Paralytic agents may be used 1-3 Precautions: difficult to identify seizures, select agent with anticonvulsant properties, continuous EEG may be utilized, drug metabolism is affected, appropriate dosing must be tailored to the specific conditions of the patients and must be tightly monitored 1.

Phases of Therapy Rewarming Phase Slow and controlled rewarming (0.01 0.5 C per hour) Rapid rewarming may lead to: Hypoglycemia Increased ICP Rapid electrolyte shifts (hyperkalemia) Sudden vasodilation Cardiac arrest General Considerations: This list may vary depending on the patient s underlying condition. 1.

Foundations of Neuroscience Nursing. pp. 237-246.
Phases of Therapy Controlled Normothermia Phase Fever during the first 72 hours after ROSC has been associated with poor outcome Many clinicians attempt to maintain normothermia (36-37 C) during this time for at least 72 hours after ROSC General Considerations: This list may vary depending on the patient s underlying condition.

Neuroprognostication TTM alters the ability to obtain a clinical neuro exam Drug clearance is decreased so sedatives may be present up to 48-72 hours Decisions regarding withdrawal of care must be delayed until adequate clinical exam can be performed Follow your institution s guidelines for prognostication 1.

Summary It is important to properly manage patients receiving targeted temperature management You must be dedicated to shivering control in order to effectively cool patients or to maintain normothermia Fever in critically ill patients is associated with worse outcomes and length of stay BMD/AS50/0516/0122
