8. Hypothermia initiated at a transferring facility prior to arrival at the enrolling hospital (excludes pre-hospital IV fluids or cold packs for cooling by EMS)
9. Current Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filter
10. Known history of acute neurological illness or severe functional disabilities prior to arrest (e.g., seizures, traumatic brain injury, increased intracranial pressures, intracerebral hemorrhage, etc.)

17. Currently enrolled in another investigational drug or device trial that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with this trial's endpoints Note: For the purpose of this protocol, subjects involved in extended follow-up trials for products that were investigational but are currently commercially available are not considered enrolled in an investigational trial.
