The Øresund Copenhagen-Malmø Acute Stroke Cooling Trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating TH - Endovascular alone (Alsius®, Zoll, USA), TH - Endovascular + nasopharyngeal induction (Alsius®, Zoll, USA) (Rhinochill®, Benechill, USA), and 1 other intervention for Cerebral Infarction. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to investigate the safty and feasibility of therapeutic hypothermia in acute stroke patients. Soon after arrival in the stroke unit patients are randomized to either hypothermia in the intensive care unit (ICU) or standard treatment in the stroke ward. Patients randomized to therapeutic hypothermia are analgo-sedated and cooled to at temperature of 33 degrees for a period of 24 hours.

Timeline
Interventions
Patients are cooled with an endovascular (Alsius®, Zoll, USA) groin catether (9,3 french).
Patient are cooled with a groin endovascular catheter (Alsius®, Zoll, USA) + a nasopharyngeal induction catheter (Rhinochill®, Benechill, USA) in the nostrils. The nasopharyngeal induction is designed to give a more quick and localised brain cooling.
Infusion of ice cold saline of 4°C (25 mL/kg body weight)followed by surface cooling
