Effect of early induction of @entity2332 on severe XXXX .

@entity1 @entity130 @entity4 @entity542 @entity204 @entity2332
Although therapeutic @entity2332 for @entity1 with @entity542 has improved the outcome, the results in the most severe cases (GCS 3-6) have not been satisfactory so far. We induced @entity2332 in @entity542 @entity1 within 3 hours after the @entity130 , and compared the outcome of the treatment without @entity2332 . Fourteen @entity1 with GCS less than 6 were entered into this study (age range 13 to 58, mean 27.0 years). Seven of them were treated by @entity2332 and 6 by the conventional method. The @entity1 undergoing @entity2332 were cooled to 34 degrees C within 3 hours after injury, kept at 32-34 degrees C for 48 hours, and then rewarmed. The outcome was evaluated at 6 months post- @entity130 , and the results were compared in the two groups. @entity2332 dramatically suppressed @entity4 on CT in 3 of 7 @entity1 . Four @entity1 including these 3 showed a favorable outcome (good or moderate disability) and 3 died in the @entity2332 group. In the conventional treatment group, only 1 @entity1 was moderately disabled and 6 exhibited an unfavorable outcome (severely disabled, vegetative, or @entity204 ). Early induction of @entity2332 can improve the outcome in @entity1 with severe @entity542 by reducing the severe @entity4 .
