All patients admitted to intensive care with a temperature higher than 38.0 degrees C for study enrolment.

The primary aim is to compare the effects of two temperature targets on ICU-free survival at 28 days in non-neurologically-injured patients requiring emergency intensive care admission who have a temperature of hier than 38.0 degres C at any time during their ICU admission. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in ICU-free survival at day 28 in those patients assigned a temperature target of < 38 degrees C and those assigned a temperature target of < 39.6 degrees C.
Efficacy
Confirmatory
The principal study outcome will be whether the number of 'alive ICU-free days' measured at day 28. This outcome will be determined by the research coordinator at each participating centre. The study monitor will verify the source documentation at each monitoring visit. Alive ICU-free days is a robust outcome, and although unintended bias in outcome assessment is unlikely, this will be refined by the secondary endpoint of 'need for intensive care support'.

In the intensive strategy, at study entry, any antipyretics (physical cooling or medications) should be prescribed if the patient's core temperature is equal or greater than 38.0. Antipyretic will be stopped when core temperature is less than 37.5.
In the permissive strategy, any antipyretics (physical cooling or medications) may be considered for use, at the discretion of the treating clinician, if the patient's core temperature is equal or greater than 39.5. Antipyretic will be stopped when core temperature is less than 39.0.

Male and Female
Patients are eligible to be included in the study if:
1.= or >20 years old
2.Patients who expected to still be ICU the day after tomorrow of randomization.
3.Patients who expected NOT to have a requirement for an analgesic regimen containing paracetamol, NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors within the next 3 days.
4.Patients in which body temperature (esophageal, bladder, renal, blood, tympanic membrane or axillary temperature) can be measured at least every four hourly.
5.Documented core temperature greter than 38.0 degree of Celsius in ICU (if tympanic & axillary, > 37.5 degree of Celsius)
1.Acute brain injury defined as acute traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid haemorrhage, acute ischaemic stroke, acute intracerebral haemorrhage, acute intracranial infection or cardiac arrest
2.The treating clinician expects the patient to have a requirement for an analgaesic regimen containing paracetamol, NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors within the next 3 days.
3.Diagnosis of heat stroke, or, malignant hyperthermia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, or other drug-induced hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis, and thyrotoxicosis
4.Pregnancy
5.Imminent death (cardiac standstill or brain death anticipated in less than 24 hours) and the treating clinicians are not committed to full supportive care.
