 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 5 Ice-cooled electric blanket for 40 cases of severe head injury nursing [Abstract] Objective To evaluate the cooling power of ice blanket nursing experience in the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury. Methods of fever in patients with severe traumatic brain injury using the electric blanket of ice for cooling. The results of 40 cases of patients with no electricity ice blanket cool nursing errors and no serious complications. Conclusion electric blanket use during the period of ice effect and patient care is closely related to efficacy. [Keywords:] severe head injury nursing cooling power of ice blanket 1 Materials and Methods December 2006 -2009 in December, admitted to our department 40 patients, 28 males and 12 females, aged 16-70 years, mean 46.3 years of age, GCS score 3-8, were confirmed by brain CT of severe brain injury and the emergence of high fever, cool the ice blanket application of power, while giving the appropriate treatment of drug treatment and equipment, the disposal of the condition of patients accordingly to give appropriate care to observe the therapeutic effect. Cooling method: electric cooling blanket of ice, to ensure the patient back in the cooling blanket, and set the temperature value, temperature value lower than the actual temperature in patients 1 , and the trends according to patient body temperature, adjust the settings 30min intervals, so that it stable temperature, body temperature dropped to 34-35 , cooling treatment time was 7d [1]. 2 Results Rectal temperature measured 1 / h, the observation that, electric blanket of ice to cool the patients within the 3h body temperature control in the range, the cooling is better than ice. Using electric ice blanket cool, as long as proper care , the cure rate, improvement rate of combined treatment indicators, scoring system by GCS score, before and after treatment, a significant effect. 3 nursing 3.1 The use of electr
