Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Therapeutic Hypothermia

Experimental: Cooling 0 hours - Participants will be kept at a normal temperature for the whole 5 days.

Experimental: Cooling 12 hours - The participant will be cooled to 33°Celsius (C) for 12 hours, slowly rewarmed over approximately 16 hours, and then will be kept at a normal temperature (36.8°C or 98.6°F) until the end of the 5th day.

Experimental: Cooling 18 hours - The participant will be cooled to 33°C for 18 hours, slowly rewarmed over approximately 16 hours, and then will be kept at a normal temperature (36.8°C or 98.6°F) until the end of the 5th day.

Experimental: Cooling 24 hours - The participant will be cooled to 33°C for 24 hours, slowly rewarmed over approximately 16 hours, and then will be kept at a normal temperature (36.8°C or 98.6°F) until the end of the 5th day.

Experimental: Cooling 36 hours - The participant will be cooled to 33°C for 36 hours, slowly rewarmed over approximately 16 hours, and then will be kept at a normal temperature (36.8°C or 98.6°F) until the end of the 5th day.

Experimental: Cooling 48 hours - The participant will be cooled to 33°C for 48 hours, slowly rewarmed over approximately 16 hours, and then will be kept at a normal temperature (36.8°C or 98.6°F) until the end of the 5th day.

Experimental: Cooling 60 hours - The participant will be cooled to 33°C for 60 hours, slowly rewarmed over approximately 16 hours, and then will be kept at a normal temperature (36.8°C or 98.6°F) until the end of the 5th day.

Experimental: Cooling 72 hours - The participant will be cooled to 33°C for 72 hours, slowly rewarmed over approximately 16 hours, and then will be kept at a normal temperature (36.8°C or 98.6°F) until the end of the 5th day.

Experimental: Cooling 84 hours - The participant will be cooled to 33°C for 84 hours, slowly rewarmed over approximately 16 hours, and then will be kept at a normal temperature (36.8°C or 98.6°F) until the end of the 5th day.

Experimental: Cooling 96 hours - The participant will be cooled to 33°C for 96 hours, slowly rewarmed over approximately 16 hours, and then will be kept at a normal temperature (36.8°C or 98.6°F) until the end of the 5th day.


Treatment: Devices: Therapeutic Hypothermia
Participants will receive therapeutic hypothermia for the assigned number of hours with controlled rewarming,

A zero hour cooling duration (normothermia) treatment arm will be opened for enrollment if there is not an increase in the treatment effect across the durations. Alternatively, longer durations (84 or 96 hours) will be opened for enrollment if the treatment effects are increasing (rather than plateauing or decreasing) through 72 hours.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a multicenter trial to establish the efficacy of cooling and the optimal duration of induced hypothermia for neuroprotection in pediatric comatose survivors of cardiac arrest.

The study team hypothesizes that longer durations of cooling may improve either the proportion of children that attain a good neurobehavioral recovery or may result in better recovery among the proportion already categorized as having a good outcome.
