| Abstract text: | The paper deals with current possible utilization of induced regional controlled hypothermia as a non- invasive therapeutic method, based on recent results emerged from researches and clinical assays performed abroad and in Romania, by the authors. The possibility, efficiency and limits of controlled regional hypothermia as a neuroprotective factor has been proved in various head injuries and cerebral haemodynamic troubles, or in various areas of medicine such as: critical care for post-resuscitation phase, avoiding hypoxic injury in cardiac arrest, neurosurgery, neurology, traumatology, and as it is recently proved, neonatology. Recent results in literature are confirming and reconfirming the results obtained earlier by Dr. Csontos, which still remained in stage of records, even if 10 years ago the domestic research has been situated in the very advanced position. The authors are pleading for the continuation of research, which can overcome the lap and position of the European research in its deserved place. Earlier research, as the most recent one, has shown the chances of MHC, as an effective treatment to prevent the consequences of brain hypoxia and ischemia for various reasons. After a period of eclipse, the issue of hypothermia raised again as therapeutic mean both in fundamental research of the brain physiology in hypoxic conditions, and in clinical issues as: 1) stabilization of patients with cardiac arrest in post-resuscitation stage; 2) adjuvant treatment in cranial cerebral emergency cases; 3) therapeutic method in recovery of patients after STROKE; 4) as neuroprotective measure in stopped hearth surgery; 5) as neuroprotective mean in neurosurgery; 6) in neonatology for preventing encephalopathy of new born child with asphyxia. |
