Fever in the neurocritical care setting is common and has a negative impact on outcome of
all disease types. Meta-analyses have demonstrated that fever at onset and in the acute …

Object Fever and hypothermia (dysthermia) are associated with poor outcomes in patients
with brain injuries. The authors sought to study the epidemiology of dysthermia on …

Background and Purpose—Many studies associate fever with poor outcome in patients with
neurological injury, but this relationship is blurred by divergence in populations and …

Background Fever suppression may be beneficial for patients with traumatic brain injury
(TBI) and stroke, but for patients with meningitis or encephalitis [central nervous system …

Background There is a lack of consistent, evidence-based guidelines for the management of
patients with fever after brain injury. The aim was to update previously published consensus …

Introduction Hyperthermia following a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common,
potentiates secondary injury, and worsens neurological outcome. Conventional fever …

Increasing evidence suggests that induction of mild hypothermia (32–35° C) in the first hours
after an ischaemic event can prevent or mitigate permanent injuries. This effect has been …

Recently there has been much interest in the use of hypothermia in the management of the
brain-injured patient and its effect on outcome. Most of these studies examine the use of …

OBJECTIVE: In patients with traumatic or ischemic brain injury, hyperthermia is thought to
worsen the neurological injury. We studied fever in the neurosurgical intensive care unit …

Although mild therapeutic hypothermia is an effective neuroprotective strategy for cardiac
arrest/resuscitated patients, and asphyxic newborns, recent randomized controlled trials …
