Yeah, so cooling down.

Mm-hmm.

Although I did do some studies where we heat it up and that makes things worse.

So this kind of pertains to what I'm about.

I can imagine.

Brain doesn't like to get too hot.

That's essentially what I'm about to say.

So there have been lots of studies where they've done cooling hypothermia in people after traumatic brain injuries and concussions.

Hasn't really shown much of an effect.

What seems to be important is preventing hyperthermia.

So one of the effects of cooling somebody down is that they don't get hot.

So that's probably something that's really important.

So often concussions happen in a heat-stressed environment, you're on a football pitch, it's August in Alabama, it's 40 degrees, right?

Get inside, get cool as quickly as you can because there are studies that, and that doesn't mean you have to get in an ice bath, just don't be really hot.

If you get a fever, which you might do after a more significant injury,

you know, Tylenol or something like that to help maintain thermoregulation will be really important.

The next is blood sugar regulation.

So we know that after a significant brain injury, you have increases in blood sugar.

That's associated with worse outcomes.

Some of it's like what's caused, what's consequences, the injury driving the blood sugar, is the blood sugar driving the injury?
