Summary
Previous reports have established the effectiveness of hypothermia in preserving cerebral function and integrity after various insults. However, certain complications persist when hypothermic therapy is used in clinical settings such as head injury and stroke. While several clinical trials of hypothermic therapy have been performed, the efficacy of the hypothermia has not been definitively proven. The current paper describes the development and use of a hypothermia bed used in the treatment of patients with stroke and summarizes the pathophysiological data obtained from these trials.
