Article Synopsis
- The study is a prospective multi-center trial examining complications related to modest systemic hypothermia in patients with acute cervical spinal cord injuries (SCI) across five trauma centers in the U.S.
- Patients were divided into two groups: one receiving hypothermia treatment and the other receiving standard care, with their complications tracked for six weeks post-injury.
- Results showed no significant difference in complication rates between the hypothermia and control groups, suggesting that modest hypothermia does not increase the risk of complications in the early weeks after acute cervical SCI.
