| Description | Hypothermia was able to decrease ICP and increase CPP in both groups of patients regardless to the type of brain injury. Hypothermia was not able to improve outcome in patients with primary brain lesions, however it was able to significantly improve outcome in patients with extracerebral hematomas who were threatened by the secondary brain damage. |
