Can lowering body temperature prevent brain damage in children?
- ANN ARBOR, Mich. - In the first large-scale study of its kind, researchers at the University of Michigan CS Mott Children's Hospital and the University of Utah will lead a multi-center study to investigate whether hypothermia--lowering body temperature--can prevent or reduce brain damage in children deprived of oxygen after a cardiac arrest.
Alternative remedies can be dangerous for children and could even lead to death.
