ABSTRACT:
A method for preventing or reducing the development of delayed brain damage in a patient, comprises applying headwear (1) to the patient's head and circulating a fluid coolant through conduits (3) or passages in the headwear to cool the brain and thermostatically controlling the coolant temperature within a predetermined range to maintain the brain at a temperature sufficiently below normal for an extended period sufficient to prevent the death of neurons, glial or other cells that would otherwise die as a consequence of direct injury to the brain or other injury to the patient likely to cause injury to the brain.
