“…This includes older people, neonates, head‐injured patients with elevated intracranial pressure, children with a history of febrile seizures, those with severe burns, those with neoplastic disease, those with cardiovascular compromise, and the immunocompromised, but these cases are relatively few (Cunha et al. 1984, Fletcher 1987, Morgan 1990, Holtzclaw 1992, Miller 1993, Rowsey 1997b, Price & McGloin 2003, Diringer et al. 2004).…”

“…In addition, physical cooling therapy implements the concept of radiant body heat transfer to the environment by radiation, evaporation, conduction and convection. The combination of physical cooling and antipyretics is the most frequently studied and most widely applied topic for reducing fever in critically ill patients (Price & McGloin, 2003).…”

Objective: To examine the effect of the combination of cold pack, water spray, and fan cooling on body temperature reduction and level of success to reach normal temperature in critically ill patients with hyperthermia.Methods: This was a randomized control trial (RCT) with pretest postest control group design and repeated measurement, conducted on December 2016 – January 2017. There were 32 respondents selected using total sampling, with 16 respondents randomly assigned in the experiment and control group. A digital thermometer was used to measure hyperthermia. Paired t-test, Repeated Anova with post hoc, and Mann Whitney were used for data analysis.Results: Findings showed that the mean of body temperature in the experiment group in pretest was 38.762oC and decreased to 37.3oC after given intervention for 60 minutes. The mean difference of body temperature was 1.4625, with p-value 0.000 (<0.05). In control group, the mean of body temperature in pretest was 38.669oC and decreased to 38.188oC given intervention for 60 minutes. The mean difference of body temperature was 0.4812, with p-value 0.000 (<0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant effect of the combination of cold pack, water spray, and fan cooling on body temperature reduction and level of success to reach normal temperature in critically ill patients with hyperthermia. This combination is more effective than water compress alone.

“…Since 1943, inducing hypothermia as a treatment in which body temperature is kept at 32–34 °C has been applied in various brain injuries aiming to decrease brain metabolism and reduce neuronal swelling [ 323 ]. Interventions achieving a more modest temperature reduction than induced hypothermia include drug therapies (e.g.,: paracetamol, acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [ 324 ]) and physical therapies (e.g.,: bedside fans, tepid sponging, ice packs, cooling blankets [ 325 ]). Studies in recent years used different temperature ranges in order to achieve good patient outcomes.…”

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), defined as an alteration in brain functions caused by an external force, is responsible for high morbidity and mortality around the world. It is important to identify and treat TBI victims as early as possible. Tracking and monitoring TBI with neuroimaging technologies, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET), and high definition fiber tracking (HDFT) show increasing sensitivity and specificity. Classical electrophysiological monitoring, together with newly established brain-on-chip, cerebral microdialysis techniques, both benefit TBI. First generation molecular biomarkers, based on genomic and proteomic changes following TBI, have proven effective and economical. It is conceivable that TBI-specific biomarkers will be developed with the combination of systems biology and bioinformation strategies. Advances in treatment of TBI include stem cell-based and nanotechnology-based therapy, physical and pharmaceutical interventions and also new use in TBI for approved drugs which all present favorable promise in preventing and reversing TBI.
