Therapeutic Hypothermia for Global and Focal Ischemic Brain Injury-A Cool Way to Improve Neurologic Outcomes
Neurologist 13:331-342, Hoesch,R.E. &Geocadin,R., 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
TH is a safe, effective neuroprotective strategy for global cerebral ischemia. Because of the neuroprotective efficacy of TH in adult comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, neurologists should advocate the implementation of this strategy. TH for focal ischemia is a promising therapeutic option, but requires more basic and clinical investigation.
