Another data set for 33 vs 36: How low should you go continues to be a challenge, right?

Another study adds to the literature… Johnson and colleagues produce some new work in the field. It’s retrospective, but that’s pragmatic at this point based on the upcoming ICECAP trial. Seems logical that additional effort and attention paid to the 33 degree cohort affected outcomes- perhaps not dissimilar to EGDT in sepsis? Nonetheless, the power of cooling has to do with temperature and time and the product thereof. The exact recipe may be elusive still, but once again it seems that more might be better than less in a retrospective cohort. Critical Care Medicine: March 2020 - Volume 48 - Issue 3 - p 362-369
