Abstract：Objective To explore effect of the mild hypothermia therapy on the nitragen balance in the patients with severe brain injuries. Methods Twenty six patients with severe brain injuries were treated by the mild hypothermia when receiving the convetional therapy. Another 22 patients with severe brain injuries, who only received the conventional therapy, served as control. The nitrogen balance was determined in all the patients. Results Both the degree of the negative nitrogen balance and the mortality in the mild hypothermia therapy group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion That the mild hypothermia therapy reduced the negative nitrogen balance induced by severe brain injury is one of important causes of the lower mortality in the mild hypothermia therapy group than that in the control group.
