  Impact of Targeted Temperature Management on Acute Kidney Injury in Post-cardiac Arrest Patients
  Author(s): Kanda Kheu*
  
  Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication in patients who have experienced cardiac arrest. It results from a complex interplay of ischemia-reperfusion injury, hemodynamic instability, and systemic inflammatory responses, all of which contribute to renal dysfunction. AKI is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and higher rates of long-term renal impairment. Targeted temperature management (TTM) has been widely implemented as a neuroprotective strategy following cardiac arrest, aiming to improve neurological outcomes and overall survival. However, its impact on kidney function remains an area of active investigation. Understanding the effects of TTM on AKI development, severity, and recovery is crucial for optimizing post-cardiac arrest care... Read More»
