Abstract
- Therapeutic hypothermia has been associated with an increase in thrombotic events, but this point has not been fully clarified. Most patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia in a cardiac ICU receive antithrombotic treatment, usually in the context of ischemic heart disease. But, what should we do if our patient does not need antithrombotic treatment for any reason? After this case, doubts arise on the need to use an anti-thrombotic treatment on all patients subjected to therapeutic hypothermia in the context of aborted cardiac arrest
