Sub-hypothermia Treatment on Patients With Diffusing Axonal Injury / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of sub-hypothermia on 80 patients with diffusing axonal injury (DAI) and its prognosis.Methods All 80 patients with DAI were randomly divided into the sub-hypothermia group(40 cases)and the control group(40 cases). All patients'vital sign,intracranial pressure (ICP) and blood sugar were measured. 40 cases of the patients with DAI were treated by sub-hypothermia, the rectal temperate (RT) reached 32 0℃～35 0℃,sub-hypothermia lasted for 1～7 days; the control group was treated routine. According to Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), the prognosis of the patients was evaluated 3 months later.Results In comparison with the control group, increased ICP and raised blood sugar in sub-hypothermia group were significantly decreased (P
