Im sure that most of us on the list have seen the footage of the NFL player that suffered a spinal cord injury last sunday. I was watching ESPN news last nite and they had a (i believe) a physician that described hypothermic therepy to reduce the amount of swelling on spinal cord. Is this becoming a more accpeted therepy for spinal cord injuries? is there a time frame in which the maxium benefits can be achieved? If this therepy is being used what are the protocols? i believe that Mass General Hospital is using this therepy for post cardiac arrest patients.
