Authors' results and conclusions:
There is currently insufficient high level evidence to assess the effectiveness of hypothermia induction with the CoolGard. However, there is recognition of the benefits of hypothermia for improved neurological outcomes.
Authors' recommendations:
In the absence of randomised studies assessing its safety and effectiveness and comparing it to external, surface cooling it is recommended that this technology be monitored.
