Does anesthetic provide similar neuroprotection to therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest?

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Fever is frequently observed in critically ill patients. An independent association of fever with increased mortality has been observed in non-neurological critically ill patients with mixed febrile etiology. The association of fever and antipyretics with mortality, however, may be different between infect...
