AbstractIn animal models of cerebral ischemia hypothermia has been shown to have a beneficial effect. Reduction of infarct size, fewer potentially neurotoxic metabolites, and a better neurological outcome were observed compared to sham-operated animals. In clinical practice hypothermia has been widely used in cardiovascular surgery and occasionally in neurosurgery. The first trials with hypothermia in patients with severe head injury have also shown beneficial results. However, studies on therapeutic hypothermia in the clinical management of acute stroke are not yet available.
