The Hypothermia Network is a clinical and research network,
supported by the Scandinavian Critical Care Trials Group (SCCTG) and the
Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (SSAI).
The Hypothermia Network is independent, non-commercial and has three main aims:
-
To promote the introduction of therapeutic hypothermia after
cardiac arrest through a continuous update of clinical protocols and
treatment proposals (available on the web).
-
To promote the documentation of the clinical use of
therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest through a common registry – the
International Cardiac Arrest Registry (INTCAR) - which will enable
evaluation of this new treatment paradigm. Unconscious cardiac arrest
patients, not treated with induced hypothermia, will also be registered.
-
To promote common research projects.
The Hypothermia Network has an ambition to arrange meetings and
workshops for educational and scientific purposes.
The Hypothermia Network is directed by a Steering Group with representatives
from countries participating in the network.
