abstract：:Clinical trials for ischemic stroke have been characterized by a disappointing series of negative results, using a panoply of pharmacologic agents. This paper emphasizes five physiologic measures that can be taken to mitigate ischemic brain damage. These are (1) hypothermia, (2) insulin, (3) arterial hyperoxemia, (4) ...
