Spinal cord hypothermia without systemic hypothermia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hypothermia has been shown to be beneficial in the setting of acute SCI. However, widespread use has been hindered by the need for systemic hypothermia as the vehicle for achieving spinal cord hypothermia. This study demonstrates that localized spinal cord hypothermia can be achieved via a percutaneous approach while maintaining systemic normothermia. MATERIALS AND METH...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia for spinal cord injury.
In this article, the role of modest hypothermia for the treatment of experimental and clinical spinal cord injury (SCI) is discussed. While early investigations evaluated the beneficial effects of more profound levels of local hypothermia treatment following SCI, recent studies have concentrated on the benefits of mild hypothermia in protecting and promoting functional recovery in established a...
متن کاملSystemic complications and hypothermia.
Cooling for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is a novel and promising neuroprotective therapy that requires significant understanding of how cooling affects all organ systems and interventions used to treat systemic complications of cooling in an intensive care setting. As cooling is used more widely and has been newly introduced in neonatal units, continued surveillance of its use in c...
متن کاملHypothermia 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 کاملThoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic repair under regional spinal cord hypothermia.
OBJECTIVES Spinal cord deficits are devastating complications after surgery for thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. We developed a regional spinal cord cooling system using an epidural catheter containing cold saline within an isolated counter-current lumen to prevent such complications and reviewed the clinical results. METHODS We enrolled 37 patients with thoracic (n = 13) and t...
