Mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) is expected to improve the neurological outcomes of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there are no standard protocols for managing the temperature of patients with severe TBI in order to improve their neurological outcomes. We conducted a  post hoc  analysis of the B-HYPO study, a randomized controlled trial of MTH in patients with TBI in Japan. We evaluated the impact of MTH methods on neurological outcomes. Ninety-seven patients who received MTH were included in the present analyses. The neurological outcomes were compared among subgroups of patients divided by cutoff values for the induction, maintenance, and rewarming times of MTH in all patients, in patients with diffuse injury, and in patients with an evacuated hematoma. The proportion of patients with a good neurological outcome was significantly different between patients with an evacuated hematoma divided into subgroups by the cutoff value of rewarming time of 48 h (>48 h vs. ≤ 48 h: 65% vs. 22%; odds ratio: 6.61; 95% confidence interval: 1.13–38.7,  P  = 0.0498). Slow rewarming for >48 h might improve the neurological outcomes of prolonged MTH in patients with TBI and an evacuated hematoma. Further studies are needed to investigate the optimal rewarming protocol in patients with TBI.
