Journal of Shock and Hemodynamics

While patient management in the intensive care unit has undoubtedly improved over the last 20 years, many questions remain.

The limited number of randomized control trials and limitations from currently completed studies leave the field with little certainty regarding targeted temperature management. In addition, implementing hypothermia can use multiple methods and protocols that impact the interpretation and comparison of results.
