[Influence of cerebral hyperthermia on intracranial pressure and autoregulation of cerebral circulation in patients with acute brain injury].

Cerebral hyperthermia in patients with initially normal ICP results intracranial hypertension in 48% of cases. In case of elevated ICP, further progression of intracranial hypertension occurs in 100% of cases. Cerebral hyperthermia is followed by ICP elevation in both intact and impaired cerebral autoregulation.
