Methods of cooling: Practical aspects of therapeutic temperature management.

The article presents cooling methods as practical aspects of therapeutic temperature management (TTM). It discusses the four phases of temperature modulation during therapeutic hypothermia which include induction, decooling, maintenance, and normothermia. After reviewing the literature on methodologies of TTM and neuromonitoring in these phases, it suggests the use of devices utilizing feedback loops and that intensivists be knowledgeable on techniques in TTM.
