| description | Background Despite the benefits of targeted temperature management (TTM) for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest), implementation within the United States remains low. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with TTM use in a large, urban‐suburban regional system of care. Methods and Results This was a retrospective analysis from the Los Angeles County regional cardiac system of care serving a population of >10 million residents. All adult patients aged ≥18 years with non‐traumatic out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest transported to a cardiac arrest center from April 2011 to August 2017 were included. Patients awake and alert in the emergency department and patients who died in the emergency department before consideration for TTM were excluded. The primary outcome measure was prevalence of TTM use. The secondary analysis were annual trends in TTM use over the study period and factors associated with TTM use. The study population included 8072 patients; 4154 patients (51.5%) received TTM and 3767 patients (46.7%) did not receive TTM. Median age was 67 years, 4780 patients (59.2%) were men, 4645 patients (57.5%) were non‐White, and the most common arrest location was personal residence in 4841 patients (60.0%). In the adjusted analysis, younger age, male sex, an initial shockable rhythm, witnessed arrest, and receiving coronary angiography were associated with receiving TTM. Conclusions Within this regional system of care, use of TTM was higher than previously reported in the literature at just over 50%. Use of integrated systems of care may be a novel method to increase TTM use within the United States. |
