AB  - Induced  hypothermia  has  been  shown  to  reduce  mortality  when  applied  after  resuscitation  from  cardiac  arrest.While  the  ideal  temperature  for  hypothermia  is  not  known,  most  experts  believe  that  cooling  to  32  to  34°C  is  optimal.Induced  hypothermia  may  have  benefit  for  other  disease  processes  such  as  myocardial  infarction  and  stroke.The  mechanisms  by  which  hypothermia  acts  are  multifaceted  and  a  focus  of  much  current  investigation.
