The objective is to identify the responsibilities of nurses in Post Cardiopulmonary Arrest Therapeutic Hypothermia (PCR) in patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Units. The Literature review was carried out between April and May 2021, seeking to answer the guiding question: "What are the responsibilities and care of nurses in the face of therapeutic hypothermia in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) in post-CPA patients?". Ten articles met the eligibility criteria, 9 published in English and only 1 in Portuguese. The selected articles were published in the Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), in the Nursing Database (BDENF) and in the Online System for Search and Analysis of Medical Literature (MEDLINE). Induced Hypothermia (HI) proved to be effective in patients submitted to temperatures between 33°C and 36°C, where cooling should take place from 12h to 24h after PCR. Benefits in improving neurological function, decreased brain demand and hospital mortality were observed. Nurse's responsibilities in the rigorous monitoring of signs, laboratory tests and parameters. The therapy has positive points, however, its application requires technical-scientific production and permanent education, in addition to team training, based on the effectiveness and veracity of HI, requiring expansion of its practice.
