How Therapeutic Hypothermia Could Benefit ICU Patients
A recent study discovered how lower temperatures improved a surfactant’s activity, showing that therapeutic hypothermia is a possible treatment option for ARDS, which impacts roughly one-tenth of intensive care unit (“ICU”) patients globally. Apart from patients in ICUs, critical coronavirus patients also suffer from acute respiratory distress syndrome. In layman’s language, therapeutic hypothermia is the intentional cooling of an individual’s body. Research conducted by Chiara Autilio and colleagues from the Jesus Perez-Gil laboratory at the Complutense University of Madrid demonstrates how therapeutic hypothermia works at the molecular level in an individual’s lungs; the research also notes how this method could…
