| Abstract |
|
The capacity of hypothermia to protect the brain during a period of decreased or absent oxygen delivery(hypoxia) is well established both experimentally and clinically. And also experimentally, barbiturates, which are the most potent pharmacologic depressants of cerebral metabolism, do provide protection. A 25 year-old patien, who had suffered from hypoxic cerebral hypoxia was satisfactorily treated by a combination therapy with Thiopental Sodium and low-grade Hypothermia. |
