| Abstract;We treated a patient with progressive brain edema with therapeutic hypothermia for the first time among Self-Defense Force Hospitals. A 23-year-old self-defense official in the Ground Self-Defense Force suddenly lost his consciousness immediately after completing an endurance running training, and he was carried to our hospital in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest. Although he was successfully resuscitated, the brain continued to swell after resuscitation. To control his progressive brain edema, we induced mild hypothermia aiming 34 degrees centigrate utilizing a space blanket and a room air conditioner. To prevent decubitus ulcer from occurring, the body pressure to the skin was scattered evenly, the skin was cared well, and loose socks (leg warmers) were utilized positively for protecting his limbs. Physical therapy was performed actively to prevent the occurrence of pulmonary complications. Though this was the first case of therapeutic hypothermia for us, we could provide satisfactory nursing cares owing to integration and sharing of the same information under strong nursing leadership.
