Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is burdened with a high risk of death [1–5]. Following the results of the The Targeted Temperature Management Trial (TTM trial) — a randomized study published by Nielsen et al. [6] suggesting equivalent results of targeted temperature manage - ment (TTM) at 33°C and 36°C in comatose patients after OHCA, current guidelines recommend TTM in this subset of patients [7]. TTM covers a wider body’s core temperature range (between 32°C and 36°C) than mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) (between 32°C and 34°C) [8–10]. However
