PDF202310 pages388 KB
The document provides a comprehensive review of the current understanding of hypothermia's role in neuroprotection for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). It highlights the standard practice of maintaining normothermia despite potential benefits of hypothermia, supported by numerous animal studies. The authors analyze randomized controlled trials and discuss the implications of their findings, including the risks and benefits of induced hypothermia. The review aims to clarify the effects of hypothermia and suggest future research directions.
