Abstract
The effectiveness of neuroprotection to the ischemic brain insults by brain hypothermia in animal studies is no doubt [1,2]. However, in clinical studies, similar effects of hypothermia were not obtained like animal studies in previously [3]. The reason of these different results is very simple “previous hypothermia management method has not been found human specific brain injury mechanism [4,5]. In this paper, I want present the new finding of patient specific brain injury mechanism [6,7] and developed new brain hypothermia treatment method. The care management strategy for new finding brain damage, technique for control of brain tissue hypothermia, pitfall on the management of hypothermia, control of immune suppression and pneumonia [4,5], and early treatment for prevent of memory and emotional disturbances [4,8] are focused on in this paper.
