Cardiac Arrest Cooling Protocol for ICU patients.

  • If the cooling protocol is started on a patient who has had a cardiac arrested, the code BRR must be marked in ICU Var 2.
  • If ICU Var 2 is marked BRR then TISS item T6 must also be marked.


  • Target temp: 32°C to 34°C for 12 to 24 hours.
  • Code is not to be applied when a cooling protocol is used to normalize temperature for non-arrested patients.

Taken from the Hypothermia Protocol:

  • Cooling is indicated if ALL of the following are checked:
    • Witnessed Arrest
    • Initial rhythm ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia
    • Time to ACLS <15 minutes
    • Total ACLS time <60 minutes
    • Persistent GCS < or = 9
    • Systolic BP currently over 90 mmHg (pressors allowed)
    • < 8 hours elapsed since Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC)

Possible Value: BRR if the protocol was applied.
