Embodiment Construction

[0025] It is an idea of ​​the present invention to provide a medical cooling process for cooling multiple body parts of a patient using a single medical cooling device to reduce the body core temperature of said patient. More specifically, one idea is to provide simultaneous independent cooling to various body parts of a patient using a single medical cooling device. In this way, some body parts may be further cooled differently than others to optimize cooling for a given patient condition. Independent cooling of body parts will not only allow for increased cooling efficiency, but will also manage the power consumption of medical cooling devices in a more efficient manner (for example, by focusing more energy to body parts that require greater cooling and vice versa) .

[0026] In the example, according to figure 1 , providing a medical cooling device 10 . The medical cooling device 10 includes a cooling fluid supply 11 (in figure 1 is schematically shown with a dotted lin...

Abstract

A medical cooling device and a method for operating the same are provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a medical cooling device and method for reducing the body core temperature of a patient and in particular the patient's brain in a non-invasive manner. [0002] Cross References to Related Applications [0003] The entirety of the co-pending international application entitled "Device And Method For Reducing The BodyCore Temperature Of A Patient For Hypothermia Treatment" filed on October 15, 2015 and claiming priority from SE1451237-0 filed on October 15, 2014 The content is incorporated by reference. Background technique [0004] Targeted medical cooling of body parts to lower the body's core temperature for hypothermia is a useful tool for mitigating adverse effects of body parts under specific conditions. For example, medical cooling can be used to cool the brains of patients suffering from strokes. By lowering the temperature of the brain, it reduces the risk of tissue damage to parts of the brain that lack enoug...
