Hypothermia for Intracerebral Hemorrhage, Subarachnoid Hemorrhage & Spinal Cord Injury
As described previously in this book, hypothermia likely has many positive effects on injured brain and spinal cord to limit the damage caused by secondary injury. This secondary injury has multiple mechanisms, including inflammation, excitotoxicity, calcium homeostasis, blood brain barrier damage, release of toxic intermediates including free radicals, as well as cell necrosis & apoptosis (1)....
متن کاملMild hypothermia as a protective therapy during intracranial aneurysm surgery: a randomized prospective pilot trial.
OBJECTIVE To conduct a pilot trial of mild intraoperative hypothermia during cerebral aneurysm surgery. METHODS One hundred fourteen patients undergoing cerebral aneurysm clipping with (n = 52) (World Federation of Neurological Surgeons score < or =III) and without (n = 62) acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were randomized to normothermic (target esophageal temperature at clip ap...
متن کاملFeasibility and Safety of Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia in Poor-Grade Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Prospective Pilot Study
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) improves the neurological outcome in patients after cardiac arrest and neonatal hypoxic brain injury. We studied the safety and feasibility of mild TH in patients with poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) after successful treatment. Patients were allocated randomly to either the TH group (34.5°C) or control group after successful clipping or coil embolization. E...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia reduces middle cerebral artery flow velocity in patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is widely used to detect and follow up cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Therapeutic hypothermia might influence blood flow velocities assessed by TCD. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of hypothermia on Doppler blood flow velocity after SAH. METHODS In 20 patients treated with hypothermia (33°) due to refractory intrac...
متن کاملThe Impact of Mild Hypothermia on Vasospasms in Patients after Severe Subarachnoid Haemorrhage
Vasospasms occur in 30 % of patients after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The most severe spasms are in patients with Hunt and Hess IV and V, who have usually much blood in the basal cisterns. According to some reports, hypothermia could decrease the incidence and severity of vasospasms in these patients. We have analysed 15 patients (HH IV and V) after SAH from a ruptured intracranial aneurys...
