Document: Control of fever and convulsions. An increase in body temperature leads to an increased oxygen consumption in brain tissue, and aggravating cerebral hypoxia, which causes cerebral edema and nerve cell damage (38) . Immediate measures must be taken to control hyperpyrexia by combining the use of artificial hibernation to decrease the temperature, lower metabolism and protect the central nervous system. The drug of choice is the application of cold compressors of chlorpromazine to the head, wearing ice caps and decreasing the temperature with drugs, thereby reducing hyperpyrexia-induced damage to brain tissue.
