Welche Patienten profitieren von der therapeutischen Hypothermie? Gibt es Auswahlkriterien?

Pro Jahr erleiden etwa 100 000 Menschen in Deutschland einen außerklinischen Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand, in Europa etwa 350 000 Menschen. Hierbei werden bis zu 75 000 außerklinische Reanimationsversuche pro Jahr in Deutschland verzeichnet, davon werden etwa 30 000 Patienten in die weitere stationäre Versorgung eingewiesen. Die Inzidenz prähospitaler Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstände in Deutschland beträgt 60 – 90 pro 100 000 Einwohner pro Jahr [1].
