Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

\- All patients with anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke planned to undergo endovascular thrombectomy will be screened for recruitment.

Exclusion Criteria

* Admission core body temperature \<35°C.
* Known contraindications to hypothermia, including hemodynamically unstable patients, new/symptomatic arrhythmia, hematological dyscrasias that affect thrombosis (cryoglobulinemia, sickle cell disease, serum cold agglutinins), or vasospastic disorders such as Raynaud's or thrombo-angiitis obliterans.
* Skin lesions not allowing secure application of the cooling cap.
* Unable to participate in follow-up at 3 months (e.g., resides outside of Alberta).
