    AbstractA review of the literature was undertaken to determine the existence of any evidence to support cooling strategies used in the ICU. The focus of the review was to examine previous findings on the specific problems of cooling patients with severe cerebral insult. Cooling methods that use external physical cooling strategies as well as the effects of antipyretics and vasoactive drugs were examined. Overall, it would appear that conclusions for practice remain unclear. The findings led to the implementation of a pilot study, the findings of which will be discussed in Part 2.
