Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and apparatuses for temperature modification of a patient, or selected regions thereof, including an induced state of hypothermia. The temperature modification is accomplished using an in-dwelling heat exchange catheter within which a fluid heat exchange medium circulates. A heat exchange cassette is attached to the circulatory conduits of the catheter, the heat exchange cassette being sized to engage a cavity within a control unit. The control unit includes a heater/cooler device for providing heated or cooled fluid to a heat exchanger in thermal communication with the fluid heat exchange medium circulating to the heat exchange catheter, a user input device, and a processor connected to receive input from various sensors around the body and the system. A temperature control scheme for ramping the body temperature up or down without overshoot is provided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A system for use for adjusting the temperature of a patient, comprising: a cassette, the cassette having a secondary heat exchanger, the secondary heat exchanger having a primary fluid circuit side and a secondary fluid circuit side, the primary fluid circuit side having a primary fluid inlet port and a primary fluid outlet port, the secondary fluid circuit side having a secondary fluid inlet port and a secondary fluid outlet port, the secondary fluid circuit side in…
