Summary
Brief summary
The primary hypothesis for this application for a multicenter phase III randomized clinical trial (RCT) is that induced moderate hypothermia (HYPO) (32-33 °C) after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children and maintained for 48 hours will improve mortality at 3 months and 12 month functional outcome as assessed by the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS).
