Hypothermia, Induced - Research News and Information
Saturday, January 10, 2009
Definition of 'Hypothermia, Induced'Abnormally low BODY TEMPERATURE that is intentionally induced in warm-blooded animals by artificial means. In humans, mild or moderate hypothermia has been used to reduce tissue damages, particularly after cardiac or spinal cord injuries and during subsequent surgeries. Common names: Hypothermia, Induced; Induced Hypothermia; Moderate Hypothermia, Induced; Induced Moderate Hypothermia; Induced Moderate Hypothermias; Moderate Hypothermias, Induced; Mild Hypothermia, Induced; Induced Mild Hypothermia; Induced Mild Hypothermias; Mild Hypothermias, Induced |
Predictors of poor neurologic outcome after induced mild hypothermia following cardiac arrest.
2 Nov 2008 
BACKGROUND: Several predictors of poor neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest (CA) were proven to be valid. However, these studies preceded the advent of therapeutic induced mild hypothermia (TIMH), which may alter their validity. The objective of ... Read more...
A thromboelastometric evaluation of the effects of hypothermia on the coagulation system.
30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Hypothermia may be accidental or therapeutic. Therapeutic hypothermia is increasingly used as treatment for various conditions, e.g., neuroprotection after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia leads to an impairment of the coagulation system, ... Read more...
30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Mild perioperative hypothermia increases the risk of several severe complications. Perioperative patient warming to preserve normothermia has thus become routine, with forced-air warming being used most often. In previous studies, ... Read more...
