"Hypothermia for Intracranial Hypertension after Traumatic Brain Injury"

"CONCLUSIONS

In patients with an intracranial pressure of more than 20 mm Hg after traumatic brain injury, therapeutic hypothermia plus standard care to reduce intracranial pressure did not result in outcomes better than those with standard care alone.
