Trial Outcomes & Findings for Mild Hypothermia and Supplemental Magnesium Sulfate Infusion in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Subjects (NCT NCT01333488)

NCT ID: NCT01333488

Last Updated: 2015-10-28

Results Overview

GOS=5 (Good Recovery) - Capacity to resume normal occupational and social activities, although some there may be some minor physical or mental deficits or symptoms. GOS=4 (Moderate Disability) - Independent and can resume almost all activities of daily living. GOS=3 (Severe Disability) - No longer capable of engaging in most previous personal, social or work activities. Typically are partially or totally dependent on assistance from others in daily living. GOS=2 ( Persistent Vegetative State ) GOS=1 (Dead)

Measure
Conventional Therapy
Standard of Care treatment for severe traumatic brain injury.
Hypothermia
Subjects will have their core body temperatures lowered to 34C. Arctic Sun: Core Body Temperature will be lowered using an Arctic Sun device to 34C. Bladder probe will monitor core temperature.
Hypothermia Plus Supplemental Magnesium Sulfate Infusion
Arctic Sun: Core Body Temperature will be lowered using an Arctic Sun device to 34C. Bladder probe will monitor core temperature. Magnesium Sulfate: IVI drug levels of Magnesium Sulfate targeted to plasma levels of magnesium of 2.5-3.5 mEq/Liter.(1.25-1.75mmol/L; or 3.04 - 4.26mg/dL)for 72 hours.
