ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of mild hypothermia on acute cerebrovascular diseases. Methods Sixty-two cases of severe cerebrovascular diseases were randomized into hypothermia group and control group. In hypothermia group the patients were cooled to 34～35℃ for 48h ,while the patients in the control group treated by routine methods. Median nerve short latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SLSEP) and brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) were recorded before cooling and 30 minutes, 24, 72, and 120 hours after cooling. The changes of EP were analyzed statistically. Results After treatment with mild hypothermia, the N13-N20 interpeak latency (IPL) of SLSEP and I-V IPL of BAEP were significantly reduced as compared with those of the control group ( P
