This trial tests a device to reduce fever in people who meet certain health criteria.
See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-85 with a fever due to stroke, seizure, or metabolic encephalopathy. They must be on mechanical ventilation in the ICU and have a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3-11. Exclusions include nasal conditions, skull trauma, extreme weights, pregnancy, immunocompromise, other trials participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The COOLSTAT® Transnasal Thermal Regulating Device's ability to reduce fever in intubated patients with certain brain conditions is being tested. The device cools patients through the nose and aims to maintain normal body temperature.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort or complications related to cooling via the nose such as nasal irritation but specific side effects are not listed; they will be monitored throughout the study.
