Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of pre-hospital mild hypothermia in patients with severe craniocerebral injury,and to explore the possible mechanism by the changes of serum Malondialdehyde (MDA).Methods 120 cases of severe craniocerebral injury were divided into pre-hospital mild hypothermia group (group A,65 cases) and control group(group B,55 cases) by random number table.Patients in group A were gave pre-hospital mild hypothermia treatment,and patients in group B were gave mild hypothermia therapy only after hospitalization.Comparison of the change of serum MDA at admission,the 7th and 14th day between two groups,and the functional outcomes were evaluated by GOS score in 6 months after treatment.Results The MDA levels of two group at seventh days and 14 days were higher than that at admission [(10.4 ± 1.5)nmol/L and (8.2 ± 1.2)nmol/L in group A,(12.6 ± 1.9)nmol/L and (10.0 ± 1.4)nmol/L in group B,P ＜0.05],and it was the highest at 7th day,and its in group A was significantly lower than that in group B at 7th,14th day [(6.9 ± 1.1) nmol/L in group A,(6.6 ±1.0) nmol/L in group B,P ＜ 0.05].The good prognosis rate was 47.7％ (31 cases) in group A,higher than the 38.2％ (21 cases) in group B;The mortality rate was 12.1％ (8 cases) in group A,lower than the 21.4％ (12 cases)the group B,and the difference was statistically significant (Z =-2.132,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Pre-hospital mild hypothermia treatment can improve the prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury and alleviate the damage of brain tissues.
