What is the effect of hypothermia on perihemorrhagic edema after intracerebral hemorrhage?
Studies have found that hypothermia can reduce perihemorrhagic edema after intracerebral hemorrhage. In particular, a study by Kollmar et al. (2010) found that hypothermia was associated with a 45% reduction in perihemorrhagic edema compared to controls. Additionally, hypothermia was also associated with improved neurological outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage.
