P87: Closed Traumatic Brain Injury Model in Sheep Mimicking High-Velocity, Closed Head Trauma in Humans

Near-drowning treated with therapeutic hypothermia.

A Case of Severe Acute Kidney Injury by Near-Drowning

Acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to near-drowning is rarely described and poorly understood. Only few cases of severe isolated AKI resulting from near-drowning exist in the literature. We report a case of near-drowning who developed to isolated AKI due to acute tubular necrosis (ATN) requiring dialysis. A 21-yr-old man who recovered from near-drowning in freshwater 3 days earlier was admitte...

p87: closed traumatic brain injury model in sheep mimicking high-velocity, closed head trauma in humans

there are only a few, non-evidence based, neuroprotective strategies for treatment and prevention of brain injuries after closed head trauma. to establish new therapy strategies, a novel animal model is needed. the aim of our investigation was to link standardized small animal models and actual patient medical care. data of experimental small animal studies often cannot be transferred to cns in...

Experience with prolonged induced hypothermia in severe head injury

Reports of the use of hypothermia as a treatment for brain injury appeared as early as 1943. Fay [1] cooled a series of patients with severe traumatic brain injury to as low as 28°C for 4–7 days and described outcomes that were, in his view, better than expected. This and subsequent reports did describe several deaths related to cooling, however, presumably as a result of cardiac arrhythmias an...
