24 vs. 72 Hours of Hypothermia for Pediatric Cardiac Arrest: A Pilot, Randomized Controlled Trial

Children surviving cardiac arrest (CA) lack proven neuroprotective therapies. The role of biomarkers in assessing response to interventions is unknown. We hypothesized that 72 versus 24  h of hypothermia (HT) would produce more favorable biomarker profiles after pediatric CA.
