Active cooling in traumatic brain-injured patients: a questionable therapy?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Pre-hospital tracheal intubation (TI) is an important but difficult procedure with the potential to produce hypoxaemia. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of desaturation episodes during out-of-hospital rapid sequence induction (RSI) and TI by the medical team of a German Helicopter Emergen...
