During the past decade, it has been repeatedly shown that mild to moderate hypothermia (32–34°C) reduces neurologic injury in animal models of focal or global ischemia, and of traumatic injury.

This article reviews the relevant literature and presents the authors' experience with intracerebral hemorrhage treated under hypothermia.
