Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains an important health problem worldwide. Patho physiology of TBI has been intensively investigated. Many novel theories related with pathophysiology of TBI have been regularly proposed. Targeted temperature management (TTM), previously known as therapeutic hypothermia, has a well-established benefit for application as neuroprotective therapy and intracranial pressure (ICP) control. With the novel automatic feedback machine, application of TTM in clinical practice becomes much feasible and safe. Many preclinical trials of TTM in models with TBI demonstrated useful ness in multiple aspects. The successful story of TTM in patients with restore of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest is a good example for bench to bedside. In the past decade, many clinical trials of TTM in patients with TBI have been conducted with the hope to be another successful study.

Targeted temperature management (TTM) shows the most promising neuroprotective therapy against hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). In addition, TTM is also useful for treatment of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). HIE and elevated ICP are common catastrophic conditions in patients admitted in Neurologic intensive care unit (ICU). The most common cause of HIE is cardiac arrest. Randomized control trials demonstrate clinical benefits of TTM in patients with post-cardiac arrest. Although clinical benefit of ICP control by TTM in some specific critical condition, for an example in traumatic brain injury, is still controversial, efficacy of ICP control by TTM is confirmed by both in vivo and in vitro studies. Several methods of TTM have been reported in the literature. TTM can apply to various clinical conditions associated with hypoxic/ischemic brain injury and elevated ICP in Neurologic ICU.

“…It has primarily been used for therapeutic hypothermia in patients after cardiac arrest 16,17 and myocardial infarction 18 and for treating malignant hyperthermia. 19 Uray et al 17 cooled 15 patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest from an esophageal temperature of 36.68C to 33.08C within 70 minutes (range, 55-106 minutes), with 12 ECs providing cooling rates of approximately 0.068C/min. The ThermoSuit (TS; Life Recovery Systems HD, LLC, Kinnelon, NJ) is a whole-body suit designed to cool the body via convective-immersion surface cooling.…”
