ABSTRACT:
A method of treating severe brain trauma with hypothermia includes the introduction of specified medication to reduce the risk of cardiac arrhythmia and other malfunctions that may result from the brain trauma or the hypothermia. The method further includes a protocol for the treatment which defines time, temperature, rate of change of temperature, and the timing of the introduction of medications. Finally, rigidly controlled rewarming reduces the incidence of rewarming shock in recovering patients.
