Abstract
The prognosis of severe brain damage is decided by several factors such as severity, cause of brain damage, the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis neurohormonal release [1], severity of circulatory metabolic changes [2] associated with catecholamine surge, stress-related hyperglycemia, time after the accident, age, and sex [3,4]. Therefore the indication of hypothermia includes several viewpoints as shown in Table 5 in chapter 29. The contraindications are as follow.
