About this trial
Researchers will compare people who get the ACC Set plus standard of care to people who get standard of care alone. This will show whether adding the ACC Set helps.
Participants will:
Join one of two groups, chosen by chance: the ACC Set plus standard of care, or standard of care alone.
Have the cooling tube in place for up to 3 days, if they are in the ACC Set group.
Have blood tests and pain checks every few hours during their hospital stay. Return for follow-up visits about 7, 14, and 30 days later.
