Table 2.

Intracranial pressure and brain oximetry were controlled within the therapeutic targets throughout the treatment period in both cases and controls

Parameter	Control group	Case group	p Value
Intracranial pressure (mm Hg)	13.3 (IQR 10.7 to 16.6)	13.1 (IQR 9.8 to 13.5)	0.7540
Brain oximetry (mm Hg)	20.7 (IQR 17.5 to 29.7)	21.2 (IQR 20.9 to 30.8)	0.2967
PRx	− 0.01 (IQR − 0.05 to 0.24)	− 0.17 (IQR − 0.25 to − 0.11)	0.0283

The pressure reactivity index values indicated preserved cerebrovascular reactivity (< 0.2) in both case and control groups, with a statistically significant improvement in cerebrovascular reactivity parameters associated with selective brain cooling
