Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Elevated body temperature was shown to be associated with worse outcome in acute stroke patients. PreCOOL 1 aims to investigate efficacy, feasibility and safety of prehospital cooling with cold infusions in stroke patients.
