**Fever-prevention and Temperature Control after Cardiac Arrest**
Tomorrow, an important intervention from #BOXtrial will be presented by my supervisor prof @CHassager from @cardiac_group:
Device-based prevention of fever 🌡️ (after 24 hours of #TTM). This requires a tweetorial

Targeted temperature management (therapeutic hypothermia, now temperature control) has been the cornerstone of neuroprotection in patients resuscitated but comatose after #OHCA for the past 20 years
The exact mechanism of action is unknown.
Experimental data suggest that low temperature decreases the cerebral metabolic rate, and consequently reduces the release of excitatory aminoacids and free radicals.
