摘要
Mild to moderate hypothermia has been employed since the 1940s in the treatment of acute blunt head trauma. The utility of hypothermia in ischemic injury has been confirmed, by both animal studies and clinical experience, in cardiovascular and neurological surgery. In blunt injury, though, only one prospective, randomized study has shown a statistically significant improvement in long term outcome. Clinical experience, animal data, proposed mechanisms, technical considerations, and potential risks are reviewed. Hypothermia remains controversial in the setting of blunt head injury but may prove to be a useful treatment modality.
