[Effect of focal hypothermia on traumatic brain edema and the content of lactic acid in the brain tissue in rats].
Objective To investigate the effect of focal hypothermia (LH) on traumatic brain edema and the content of lactic acid in rat brain tissue. ⋯ Focal hypothermia with water of 10 degrees C, 20 degrees C, and 25 degrees C but not 0 degrees C has some effect on traumatic brain edema and the temperature at 20 degrees C and 25 degrees C are the better. The mechanism of focal hypothermia may be associated with inhibiting acidosis of lactic acid.
