Laboratory studies of therapeutic hypothermia have utilized animals that are much smaller than the average-sized human, making rapid cooling feasible. Cooling techniques can be very invasive without concern about the long-term risks. In addition, cooling is often started either before or early during the insult. For therapeutic hypothermia to be taken to clinical trials and, further, to become part of standard clinical practice, novel cooling techniques will be needed. The optimal technique for total body cooling should be easily applied, should cool the entire organism rapidly, and should carry little risk. Ideally, the technique should be applicable by lay people or physician extenders, preferably even in the field. In addition, techniques for selective brain cooling may provide the same benefits without the possible systemic side effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
