Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Clinical Trial
Official title:
Outcomes Associated With the Application of the Normothermia Protocol in Patients With Severe Neurological Insult and Fever
When fever is present in patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or brain hemorrhage, it has been associated with worse outcomes including larger areas of tissue death, increased length of stay, worse degree of coma, lower ability to function, and higher mortality. Both adult and pediatric TBI national guidelines state that maintenance of normal body temperature should be a standard of care. However, no further standards or options are presented to specifically guide practice. The current ischemic stroke guidelines state that fever should be treated with fever-reducing agents and offer "cooling devices" as an option but do not provide specifics to guide practice. Over 50% of patients in the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Harborview Medical Center develop fever during the course of their stay. With elevated temperatures the body consumes more oxygen than if the temperature was normal, causing less oxygen to be available to the brain. This may lead to injury of the brain cells and a diminished capacity for healing. Thus, temperature management in neurologically vulnerable patients is both a prevalent and problematic challenge. Based on this information the goal of the present proposal is to evaluate if 1) A standardized, step-wise approach to temperature management using a Normothermia Protocol is successful in achieving and maintaining normal temperature in Neurosurgical ICU patients; and 2) If maintenance of normal temperature will be associated with fewer episodes of diminished responsiveness in their neurological exams as evidenced by a measure of depth of coma, as measured by the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) compared to a control group treated according to usual care.
