Our study demonstrates that a 1-h application of argon provided a significant reduction in histopathological damage, associated with a marked improvement in functional neurologic recovery even when treatment was delayed for 3 h. This is highly significant with regard to clinical situations, where argon treatment cannot be provided timely.

These results demonstrate that even a short exposure to xenon during induction of mild therapeutic hypothermia results in significant improvements in functional recovery and ameliorated myocardial dysfunction.
