Brain Hypothermia Treatment
by Nariyuki Hayashi, Dalton W. Dietrich
Springer Verlag (October 2003)

Recent breakthroughs in understanding the effectiveness of brain hypothermia
treatment have been brought about by rapid progress in experimental gene
studies along with new findings in the areas of brain-injury mechanisms,
brain thermo-pooling, hemoglobin dysfunction, insulin-resistant
hyperglycemia, radical damage involving states of consciousness, management
of lipid-dominant metabolism in the intensive care unit (ICU), and
management of immune crises under conditions of hypothermia. This book
explains the mechanism of brain hypothermia and presents advanced techniques
for ICU management of brain hypothermia for critically brain-injured
patients. Especially useful for bedside care in the ICU are the
easy-reference care-management "cards" in the appendix of the book. Brain
Hypothermia Treatment provides a valuable resource and practical guide for
professionals in the fields of neurosurgery and emergency and critical care
medicine.
