Humana Press Hypothermia and Cerebral Ischemia Mechanisms and Clinical Applications 1st Editon 2010 Softbound by Carolina M. Maier, Gary K. Steinberg
A comprehensive review of the scientific and clinical studies that have led to the resurgence of interest in hypothermia as a neuroprotective strategy in the treatment of stroke and traumatic brain injury. Topics of special importance include intraoperative and intensive care management of hypothermia-treated patients, a critical look at the potential for combining hypothermia with pharmacotherapy, and an update on the latest technological advances that have made hypothermic treatment possible in today's clinical setting. 1 Resurgence of Hypothermia as a Treatment for Brain Injury.- 2 The Effects of Hypothermia and Hyperthermia in Global Cerebral Ischemia ..- 3 Mild Hypothermia in Experimental Focal Cerebral Ischemia.- 4 Hypothermic Protection in Traumatic Brain Injury.- 5 Postischemic Hypothermia Provides Long-Term Neuroprotection in Rodents.- 6 Combination Therapy With Hypothermia and Pharmaceuticals for the Treatment of Acute Cerebral Ischemia.- 7 Intraoperative and Intensive Care Management of the Patient Undergoing Mild Hypothermia.- 8 Management of Traumatic Brain Injury With Moderate Hypothermia.- 9 Hypothermia: Clinical Experience in Stroke Patients.- 10 Hypothermia Therapy: Future Directions in Research and Clinical Practice.
