Authors' recommendations:
From the limited literature available, use of the RhinoChill device in witnessed pre-hospital arrest situations or in-hospital post-arrest situations appears to be safe and feasible. Enduring device-related adverse events were rare. The rate of neurologically intact survival at discharge was 31% and 34% of patients in the two included studies, although the RCT did not show a benefit for the RhinoChill group. Further high-quality studies are required.RhinoChill may not become available for use in Australia in the near future and further research is required, therefore it is recommended that no further assessment of this technology be carried out at this time.
