Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The purpose of our study is to verify wherever normothermia (achieved with diclofenac administration) may improve intracranial pressure control and may limit secondary cerebral damage thus positively influencing outcome.;Secondary Objective: Characterization of diclofenac dose and administration (subcutaneous or endovenous) for temperature control in ICU. Subcutaneous administration 0,35 mg/kg (1/3 a vial)of diclofenac has the same effects as other preparations on temperature, but a less impact on arterial pressure.;Primary end point(s): Maintenance of normothermia (axillary temperature < 38?C or internal temperature < 38,3?C)administering diclofenac. Corresponding behaviour of intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure. Influence on six months outcome.
