Beschreibung

The present publication provides information for the use of hypothermia in different types of human disorders including cardiac arrest, head injury, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, perinatal hypoxia, subarachnoid hemorrhage and spinal cord injury. In each of these cases, scientists and clinicians summarize peer-reviewed information that supports the use of hypothermia. This book, written by leading experts on hypothermia, is therefore interesting to a variety of readers including scientists, clinicians, nursing and other critical care investigators involved in therapeutic hypothermia and temperature management for the treatment of acute and progressive injuries. All chapters are clearly written and provide up-to-date references.
