Protective Effects and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Temperature Mapping of Systemic and Focal Hypothermia in Cerebral Ischemia [Basic Science]

Conclusions—
Focal brain hypothermia requires longer cooling periods to achieve the same protective efficacy as SH. However, FH mainly affects the ischemic region, and therefore represents a promising and nonstressful alternative to SH.
