In spite of the fact that the effect of therapeutic hypothermia on human beeings is known for many centuries, it is still studied intensively.

The studies watch the therapeutic hypothermia influence not only on surviving after the ischemic stroke, but also on the final

neurological condition of the patients afflicted. There are emerging new modern extra- and intravascular techniques which improves

not only the speed of start, temperature swings, but mainly the treatment results. Mild therapeutic hypotermia (MTH) after a successful

resuscitation has already become a treatment standard in hospitals with regard to improving neuro logical conditions of patients after

the cardiac arrest. The interest in this treatment method is gradually being shifted also towards the prehospital care.

Keywords: mild therapeutic hypothermia, circulatory arrest, improvement of the neurological condition
