The Effect of Environmental Hypothermia on Survival in Isolated Blunt Traumatic Brain Injury
Environmental hypothermia is associated with increased mortality at 24 hours and at hospital discharge in patients with isolated blunt TBI. Further investigation is needed to identify optimal treatment strategies for TBI patients with hypothermia and to determine whether hypothermia prevention decreases mortality.
