Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides a method and device for non-invasive anatomical and systemic cooling. The method and device provide for cooling of various bodily fluid-containing spaces or surfaces, such as mucus-containing spaces or surfaces via delivery of a dry fluid not including a coolant into or upon the mucus-containing space or surface. Exposure of such mucus to the dry fluid results in evaporation and cooling of the anatomical feature and/or systemic cooling, as intended. In this fashion, therapeutic hypothermia may be achieved to provide for neuroprotection of various organs after ischemic insult, such the brain after cardiac arrest.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of cooling and removing energy from an anatomical feature in a mammal by controlled evaporation of a body fluid from a bodily fluid-containing space of the mammal, comprising delivering a dry gas not including a coolant into or upon the bodily fluid-containing space to induce controlled evaporation of the bodily fluid upon contact with the dry gas and removal of the dry gas and captured bodily fluid from the mammal resulting in cooling of the anatom…
