Brain Cooling – who and how?

Cooling the severely brain injured patient in the intensive care unit is far from straight forward. Who should be cooled and when? What do you call a fever, and is this the same as the bedside nurse?

It will expose all the potential challenges, questions and pitfalls of cooling at the bedside, and suggest some ways to overcome these.
