Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized, prospective trial will study the effect of very early cooling in patients undergoing surgical evacuation of acute subdural hematomas (35°C prior to opening the dura followed by maintenance at 33°C for a minimum of 48h). Intravascular cooling catheters (Thermogard XP Device, Zoll) will be utilized to induce hypothermia or to maintain normothermia. The primary objective is to determine if rapid induction of hypothermia prior to emergent craniotomy for traumatic subdural hematoma (SDH) will improve outcome as measured by Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) at 6 months.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Participants With Favorable Glasgow Outcome Score-Extended (GOS-E) at 6 Months Post Injury Participants were monitored for 6 months after injury, and GOS-E was scored as favorable (moderate disability to good recovery) or unfavorable (severe disability, vegetative state, or death) at 6 months post-injury. 6 months post injury
Secondary Safety as Assessed by Number of Adverse Events Reported Per Participant Adverse events were graded according to the USDHHS Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events V4.0. Serious adverse events and pre-defined adverse events of interest that historically were known to be of concern with hypothermia treatment were selected to be monitored and reported regardless of grade. These included cardiac arrhythmias, thromboembolic events, pneumonia, bleeding or hemorrhage, intraoperative hemorrhage, infection (culture positive, e.g., blood stream infection, urinary tract infection, ventriculitis), device-related infection, and death. The number of adverse events per participant were compared between groups. 6 months post injury
Secondary Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Length of Stay from ICU admission to ICU discharge (median of about 11 to 13 days)
Secondary Hospital Length of Stay from hospital admission to hospital discharge (median of about 18 to 21 days)
Secondary Incidence of Cortical Spreading Depolarization 6 months
