目標溫度管理之概念分析

Target Temperature Management: A Concept Analysis

目標溫度管理（target temperature management, TTM）為將人體體溫降低至目標溫度的管理方式以減少器官組織之傷害。最早於1940年開始運用在心臟停止及腦創傷（traumatic brain injury, TBI）病人。從早期研究至今，此法多應用於到院前心跳停止，經急救恢復心跳但意識狀態仍呈現昏迷的病人。

Target temperature management, defined as a management to reduce the body temperature to meet a target temperature in order to reduce the damages of organs and tissues. In early 1940, it began to be treated on the patients with cardiac arrest or traumatic brain injury. From early studies to date, this method is frequently used to rescue the comatose adult patients upon return of spontaneous circulation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with an initial shockable rhythm.
