    Therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest has been demonstrated to improve neurologic outcomes and survival rates following cardiac arrest. Shivering during hypothermia increases metabolic demand, increases oxygen consumption and increases difficulty maintaining desired temperatures. Gaps in knowledge can lead to inadequate management of shivering, leading Aims for Improvement To improve understanding of and compliance with anti-shivering protocols during therapeutic hypothermia post-cardiac arrest
