Study Summary

In this study, children who survive cardiac arrest will be evaluated whether 24 or 72 hours of whole body hypothermia (cooling) during recovery is better to help prevent brain injury and improve outcome. The investigators will also test the safety of cooling patients for 24 and 72 hours. The investigators hypothesize that 72 hours of cooling will be more beneficial than 24 hours without compromising safety.

Interventions
