Inclusion Criteria

The criteria for inclusion were a witnessed cardiac arrest, a presumed cardiac origin of the arrest, an age of 18 to 70 years, an estimated interval of 5 to 15 minutes from the patient's collapse to the first attempt at resuscitation by emergency medical personnel, and an interval of no more than 60 minutes from collapse to restoration of spontaneous circulation.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients were excluded if they met any of the following criteria: esophageal temperature below 30 ° C at admission, coma before cardiac arrest due to administration of drugs that suppress the central nervous system, pregnancy, then response to verbal commands, return of spontaneous circulation, and before randomization, spontaneous Evidence of hypotension (mean arterial pressure less than 60 mm Hg), evidence of hypoxaemia (arterial oxygen saturation less than 85 percent) after return of circulation and more than 30 minutes prior to randomization, after return of spontaneous circulation and more than 15 minutes prior to randomization a fatal illness that occurred prior to arrest, factors unlikely to participate in follow-up, enrollment in another study, or a known pre-existing coagulopathy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To investigate the effect of Goal-Oriented Temperature Therapy on pyroptosis (Pyroptosis measured as a composite of NLRP3, caspase-1, and IL-1Beta protein levels on a venous blood sample using ELISA) in patients with spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrests caused by acute myocardial infarction.[Venous blood was drawn at the start of the cooling therapy (0 hr), within 24 h of treatment and at the end of treatment (48 h).]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
mortality ; by accessing patient medical record[48 hours post-intervention commencement]
