“…A rapid increase within seconds is frequently associated with a stress response or triggering of autonomic dysfunctions via the vagal or glossopharnygeal nerves or carotid bodies, 25 whereas an increase within minutes is likely because of local venous obstruction. 26 The latter may result from bilateral jugular vein compression when the part of the Sovika device covering the anterior neck is fitted.…”

Background and Purpose— Therapeutic hypothermia improves clinical outcome after cardiac arrest and appears beneficial in other cerebrovascular diseases. We conducted this study to investigate the relationship between surface head/neck cooling and brain temperature. Methods— Prospective observational study enrolling consecutive patients with severe ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke undergoing intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain temperature monitoring. Arterial pressure, ICP, cerebral perfusion pressure, heart rate, brain, tympanic, and bladder temperature were continuously registered. Fifty-one applications of the Sovika cooling device were analyzed in 11 individual patients. Results— Sovika application led to a significant decrease of brain temperature compared with baseline with a maximum of −0.36°C (SD, 0.22) after 49 minutes (SD, 17). During cooling, dynamics of brain temperature differed significantly from bladder (−0.25°C [SD, 0.15] after 48 minutes [SD, 19]) and tympanic temperature (−1.79°C [SD, 1.19] after 37 minutes [SD, 16]). Treatment led to an increase in systolic arterial pressure by >20 mm Hg in 14 applications (n=7 patients) resulting in severe hypertension (>180 mm Hg) in 4 applications (n=3). ICP increased by >10 mm Hg in 7 applications (n=3), led to ICP crisis >20 mm Hg in 6 applications (n=3), and a drop of cerebral perfusion pressure <50 mm Hg in 1 application. Conclusions— Although the decrease of brain temperature after Sovika cooling device application was statistically significant, we doubt clinical relevance of this rather limited effect (−0.36°C). Moreover, the transient increases of blood pressure and ICP warrant caution.

“…This is an important contribution to the literature. While some hypothermia experiments have directly measured brain temperature in animal [13] or human subjects [18][19][20][21], most clinical trials have used core temperature measurements alone [3,4,[7][8][9][10][11], and none have utilized MR spectroscopy as a method to measure brain temperature.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' . The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research...
