Effect of Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia Combined with Stereotactic Aspiration on Patients with Severe Cerebral Hemorrhage.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of mild therapeutic hypothermia combined with stereotactic aspiration of spontaneous intracerebral hematoma on neurological function, inflammatory markers, cerebral hematoma, and cerebral edema in patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage. The clinical data of 86 patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage treated at our hospital between March 2020 and January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped according to their treatment plans: the control group consisted of 40 patients who underwent stereotactic aspiration of the spontaneous intracerebral hematoma, whereas the study group consisted of 46 patients who received adjuvant mild therapeutic hypothermia in addition to the aforementioned treatment. Clinical efficacy, neurological function (NIHSS score), daily living ability (BI score), cerebral hematoma, cerebral edema, cerebral hemodynamics (PI, RI, Vm, Vd), inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, hs-CRP), oxidative stress indicators (SOD, MDA, 8-iso-PGF2α), serum-related factors (MMP-9, ICAM-1, ET-1, NO), and prognosis were compared between the groups. The total efficacy rate in the study group (95.65%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (77.50%) (P < 0.05). Post-treatment NIHSS scores, intracranial hematoma volume, perihematoma edema volume, cerebral edema volume, RI, serum IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, hs-CRP, MDA, and 8-iso-PGF2α levels were significantly lower in both groups, with the study group showing even greater reductions. The BI score and PI, Vm, Vd, SOD, and NO levels were significantly higher in the study group (P < 0.05). At the 6-month follow-up, the prognosis of patients in the intervention group was significantly better than that of patients in the control group (P < 0.05). The combination of mild therapeutic hypothermia with stereotactic aspiration of a spontaneous intracerebral hematoma has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of severe cerebral hemorrhage. This approach effectively reduces cerebral hematoma and edema, improves daily living ability, alleviates neurological deficits, regulates cerebral hemodynamics, suppresses inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, modulates serum-related factor levels, and enhances patient prognosis.
