  • Title: Hypothermia after acute ischemic stroke.
    Author: Hemmen TM, Lyden PD.
    Journal: J Neurotrauma; 2009 Mar; 26(3):387-91. PubMed ID: 19231919.
    Abstract:
    Induced hypothermia after ischemic stroke is a promising neuroprotective therapy and is the most potent in pre-clinical models. Technological limitations and homeostatic mechanisms that maintain core body temperature, however, have limited the clinical application of hypothermia. Advances in intravascular cooling and successful trials of hypothermia after global cerebral ischemia, such as in cardiac arrest and neonatal asphyxia, have renewed interest in hypothermia for stroke.
