Abstract

Summary • A review of the literature was undertaken to determine the existence of any evidence to support cooling strategies used in the ICU • The focus of the review was to examine previous findings on the specific problems of cooling patients with severe cerebral insult • Cooling methods that use external physical cooling strategies as well as the effects of antipyretics and vasoactive drugs were examined • Overall, it would appear that conclusions for practice remain unclear • The findings led to the implementation of a pilot study, the findings of which will be discussed in Part 2
