Immediate Cooling and Emergency Decompression (ICED) for the treatment of spinal cord injury: pilot, safety and feasibility studies

脊髓损伤患者年轻，严重瘫痪，需求复杂，终生费用高。虽然紧急手术大大改善了预后，但由于后勤困难，很难实现。为了扩大早期手术的时间窗口，建议立即给患者降温。该项目将进行必要的试点研究，然后开始对颈脊髓损伤患者进行立即冷却和紧急减压（ICED）的临床试验。

Victims of Spinal Cord Injury are young, have severe paralysis, complex needs and high lifetime costs. Although urgent surgery greatly improves outcome, it is difficult to achieve because of logistical difficulties. To expand the time window for early surgery, it is proposed to immediately cool patients. This project will conduct the pilot studies necessary before commencing a clinical trial of immediate cooling and emergency decompression (ICED) in patients with cervical spinal cord injuries.
