Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical effects of dynamic mild hypothermia on patients with severe brain injury. Methods One hundred and seventy-four patients with severe brain injury, admitted to our hospital from 2003 to 2009, were chosen and randomly assigned to mild hypothermia treatment group, short-term mild hypothermia treatment group and control group; their clinical outcomes and complications were recorded. Results The difference on effective rate of the 3 groups was significant (84.48%, 67.24%, 48.27%, respectively, P<0.05); the mortality in the 3 groups was 8.62%, 15.51%, 36.20%, respectively. No significant difference of complications was showed in the 3 groups (46.55%, 46.55% and 48.27%, respectively, P>0.05). Conclusion Dynamic mild hypothermia therapy can improve the outcomes of severe brain injury according to the patients' condition.
