Induced Hypothermia and Fever Control for Prevention and Treatment of Neurological Injuries
Lancet 371:1955-1969, Polderman,K.H., 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This review discusses the available evidence for use of controlled hypothermia, and also deals with fever control. Besides discussing the evidence, the aim is to provide information to help guide treatments more effectively with regard to timing, depth, duration and effective management of side-effects. In particular, the rate of rewarming seems to be an important factor in establishing successful use of hypothermia in the treatment of neurological injuries.
