Brief summary

Cardiac arrest is at present a major cause of mortality as well as a cause of disability for the surviving victims.In Europe, every year counts as 300,000 cardiac arrests responsible for 250,000 deaths. Thus, less than 20 % of patients discharged home with impaired quality of life associated with symptoms of tiredness, stress, anxiety. The prognosis is related to the initial cardiac rhythm present during the initiation of resuscitation. Recent progress in the improvement of mortality and neurological outcome has been achieved over the last decade thanks to the systematic implementation of a period of targeted temperature control between 32 and 34 ° C in patients who benefited from the realization of at least one electrical external shock. There are theoretical and clinical arguments to think that achieving the same way a period of targeted temperature control between 32 and 34 ° C in patients treated for cardiac arrest with a non- shockable rhythm on arrival can also benefit from this procedure. However other arguments are against this hypothesis including an increase in the risk of infection , worsening of the patient's hemodynamic status with no benefit to him. To answer this question, we conduce a randomized multicenter study testing the potential improvement of neurological outcome through this procedure targeted temperature control between 32.5 and 33.5 ° C in these patients.

Interventions

PROCEDURETargeted controlled temperature between 32.5 and 33.5°C

Therapeutic hypothermia ie targeted controlled temperature between 32.5° and 33.5°C will be induced in the active group. Usual method of controlled temperature will be use in ICU: internal active method or external active method.

PROCEDURETargeted controlled temperature between 36.5 and 37.5°C

Temperature was maintain between 36.5° and 37.5°C in the control group. In case of temperature superior to 37.5°C or inferior to 36.5°C, a pharmaceutical treatment and/or active cooling or warming was introduce to maintain temperature between the range of 36.5 - 37.5°C.
