Abstract

Previously published systematic reviews have explored the effects of therapeutic hypothermia on adult patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, none explored the effect of early prophylactic hypothermia (within 6 h from injury to hypothermia induction). Animal studies indicated that early prophylactic hypothermia may reduce secondary injury and improve neurological outcomes. This systematic review aimed to investigate the effects of early prophylactic hypothermia on adult TBI regarding mortality, favourable outcomes, and complications. We searched electronic databases including Cochrane CENTRAL, PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Web of Science, OpenGrey, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to June 12, 2019. Manual search was conducted for additional information. Only randomised controlled trials were included. The Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool was used to assess the quality of included studies. We extracted general demographic characteristics, the initiation timing, methods of cooling, duration, target temperature, rewarming rate, mortality, neurological outcomes, and complications. Six studies with a total of 1207 participants were included. Meta-analyses showed no significant difference in mortality and...Continue Reading
