Abstract

While cold crystalloids have been used for induction of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest [1,2], the effectiveness of cold colloids has not so far been evaluated. Therefore, we investigated the cooling effect of rapid intravenous infusion of cold crystalloid compared to colloid in a porcine model of ventricular fibrillation (VF).
