Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEffects of mild hypothermia on patients with lower intracranial pressure following severe brain injury.
To study the effects of mild hypothermia therapy on severe brain-injured patients whose intracranial pressure (ICP) could be maintained below 25 mm Hg. ⋯ Mild hypothermia has no additional beneficial effects on severe brain-injured patients compared with normothermia therapy if ICP can be maintained below 25 mm Hg by using conventional therapy.
