The CRS has developed a forum to generate inter-hospital discussion on hypothermia implementation. The Penn Hypothermia Discussion Forum provides an opportunity for clinicians and medical professionals to discuss hypothermia implementation success stories and challenges. The responses by the medical professionals on this forum do not necessarily represent the opinion of the Center for Resuscitation Science and should be considered carefully.
For more information on the forum, or to become a member, please refer to this manual or email Audrey Blewer at audrey.blewer@uphs.upenn.edu.
