Early HTC showed no neurologic nor survival benefit in cardiac arrest survivors. Nasal evaporative cooling during CPR may benefit those with shockable rhythms. Delays in reaching the target temperature may underlie the failure of HTC. Future studies should evaluate whether achieving target temperature, for example, within 30 minutes, rapidly improves outcomes.
