title: [A case report of cerebral resuscitation by surface cooling in a patient with cardiac arrest].
abstract: Therapeutic hypothermia is an important treatment for cerebral resuscitation in patients after cardiac arrest. But it is rarely used for comatose survivor post-cardiac arrest in China. The patient was the first case who was in coma post cardiac arrest caused by acute myocardial infarction and given hypothermia therapy in our hospital. After coronary reperfusion and therapeutic hypothermia, the patient's sneurologic function was recovered to normal. The paper discussed the indications, contraindications, cooling methods and complications of therapeutic hypothermia.
