Abstract
A pilot study was conducted among patients with chronic impaired consciousness in order to assess the response of energy expenditure at rest (REE) during craniocerebral hypothermia. It was found that REE increased in 70.59% of patients, and decreased in 29.41%. It is assumed that the decrease in REE is associated with preserved metabolic activity in the intact parts of the cerebral cortex and may indicate the presence of rehabilitation potential, and the decrease indicates the presence of gross damage that excluded the selectivity of hypothermic exposure.
