  1. NT-proBNP, start induction; values measured between ICU admission and the start of cooling. NT-proBNP, start maintenance; the first value measured after reaching target temperature (32°C). NT-proBNP, end maintenance; the last value measured before initiation of the warming phase. NT-proBNP end-rewarming; the first value measured after reaching target temperature (36,5°C). * = P < 0.05 for inter-group comparisons (Mann Whitney U-test). † = P < 0.05 for intra-group comparison to the consecutive phase. MTH, mild therapeutic hypothermia; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide; ICU, Intensive Care Unit.
