Introduction
Induced mild hypothermia therapy (MHyT) improves neurological outcome in postresuscitation cardiac arrest patients with ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia (VF/VT). Patients with asystole were excluded from earlier studies due to poor overall outcome [1, 2]. The present study enrolled both patients with asystole or VT/VF; one of the objectives was to assess neurological function at ICU discharge.
