Evidences that support the use of targeted temperature management (TTM) for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) are lacking. We aimed to investigate the hypothesis that TTM benefits for patients with IHCA are similar to those with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and to determine the independent predictors of resuscitation outcomes in patients with cardiac arrest receiving subsequent TTM.
