Transpulmonary Hypothermia with Cooled Oxygen Inhalation Shows Promising Results as a Novel Hypothermia Technique

BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia was showed to improve neurologic outcome but current therapeutic hypothermia techniques have limitations. Novel techniques such as transpulmonary hypothermia with cooled oxygen inhalation may be beneficial. AIMS To evaluate the performance of transthoracic hypothermia with cooled medical oxygen inhalation as a therapeutic hypothermia method. STUDY DESIGN A...

Hypothermia

which so comprehensively sketches out the problems of space travel and the most recent investigations. Russian as well as American results from telemetering artificial satellites are included and their value interpreted. The individual with competence in non-space biology will discover a useful and stimulating summary of research with references to papers which will carry him farther into intri...

Evaluation and prognosis of neonates with asphyxia treated by hypothermia

Background: Asphyxia is a perinatal accident with a high mortality rate, therapeutic hypothermia in both head or whole body was suggested as effective therapeutic methods. In this study, we compare these methods in neonates with asphyxia.Methods and Materials: 16 neonates with asphyxia in two hospitals including Alzahra(head hypothermia) and Taleghani hospital (total body hypothermia) went unde...

Endovascular cooling for moderate hypothermia in patients with acute stroke: first results of a novel approach.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We undertook this study to evaluate the feasibility of inducing and maintaining moderate hypothermia with the use of endovascular rather than surface cooling. METHODS Six patients with severe acute ischemic stroke were treated with moderate hypothermia. This was induced and maintained by circulating temperature-adjusted normal saline in a closed-loop system entailing 3 ...
