POST TRAUMATIC PROTECTION OF BRAIN IN RATS USING RAT TERMOHYPOTHERM DEVICE
Abstract
ABSTRACT
In this study, the protective effects of hypothermia after trauma in the brain of rats have been investigated. An apparatus called “Rat Thermohypotherm Device” has been designed and implemented to induce hypothermia. To experiment with the device, rats have been separated in two groups. Experimental traumatic brain injury has been induced to the both groups. Hypothermia is applied only one of these two groups. As a result, it has been observed that the hypothermia therapy had reduced the mortality rate by 80%.
