Objective: Systematize the available evidence from studies carried out on the effectiveness of therapeutic hypothermia to reduce complications in pediatric patients after cardiorespiratory arrest. Material and methods: The type of study is descriptive, the design of a systematic review was obtained from the following databases Pubmed, Scielo, Wolters Kluwer, Google academic, Wiley One library, Dialnet, Epistemonikos. Of the 10 articles reviewed, 40% (n=4/10) are cohort studies, another 40% (n=4/10) are randomized controlled trials and 20% (n=2/10) are systematic reviews, According to the quality of the evidence, it was found to be high at 60%. According to the strength of recommendation, it is strong at 60% and moderate recommendation at 40%, according to the country where the investigations were carried out, they correspond to the USA 80%, Korea 10% and Taywan 10%. Results: According to the evidence reviewed, 20% (n= 2/10) affirm the effectiveness of therapeutic hypothermia to reduce complications in pediatric patients after cardiorespiratory arrest while 80% (n= 8/10) affirm that therapeutic hypothermia does not provides no benefit in pediatric patients post cardiorespiratory arrest. Conclusions: It is concluded that 2 of 10 evidence reviewed demonstrate the effectiveness of therapeutic hypothermia to reduce complications in pediatric patients after cardiorespiratory arrest and 8 of 10 evidence indicate that therapeutic hypothermia does not provide any benefit in pediatric patients after cardiorespiratory arrest.
