Abstract: Background: Most patients with heavy traumatic brain injury (TBI) are nursed in ICUs. Clinical trials indicate significant mortality and morbidity in cases with sustained increases in intracranial pressure (ICP). A current way of controlling intracranial pressure in ICU is therapeutic hypothermia. The benefit of hypothermia on functional outcome is unclear.
