Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy of mild hypothermia treatment on severe brain injury, and the regulating effect of plasma endothelin(ET).

Methods

Fifty patients with severe brain injury were divided into observation group(n=25) and control group(n=25). The control group was given to conventional therapy, and the observation group were given to conventional therapy combined with mild hypothermia. The plasma ET level, intracranial pressure(ICP) and clinical prognosis were compared between the two groups.

Results

After 1~5 days of treatment, the plasma ET level of observation group significantly lower than control group, the difference showed statistically significant(P<0.05). After 1~5 days of treatment, the ICP of observation group significantly lower than that of control group, the difference showed statistically significant(P<0.05). In observation group, favourable prognosis for 7 cases, mild disability for 8 cases, severe disability for 6 case, vegetable survival for 2 case and death 2 case. In control group, favourable prognosis for 3 cases, mild disability for 4 cases, severe disability for 10 case, vegetable survival for 3 cases and death 5 case. The clinical prognosis of observation group significantly better than control group, the difference showed statistically significant(P<0.05).

Conclusion

The brain protective effects of mild hypothermia may be related to the inhibition of ET secretion and reduce ICP.
