| Popis: |
Induced hypothermia has established indications in cardiac arrest in adults and in hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in infants. Despite substantial research effort its application in the setting of trauma remains controversial. In head and spinal trauma mild cooling may help to limit secondary injury. In penetrating trauma, profound cooling at the time of cardiac arrest may offer an extended window to control haemorrhage before irreversible ischaemic brain damage occurs. Both of these potential indications are the subject of clinical trials. This review seeks to set in context these studies and previous work in this field. |
