Embodiment Construction
[0045] Animal research:
[0046] Due to ineffective previous attempts to cool the brain via lumbar puncture, the cisterna magna, located at the base of the brain, was chosen as the entry point for the cooling device. Entry through the spinal canal leads to an increase in the temperature of the aCSF due to the warmth of the circulatory vessels in the spinal canal. With access to the maximal cistern, the cerebellomedullary cistern, a 17-gauge needle can be placed in the subarachnoid space and used to circulate cooled saline out through a drain in the forehead. Using this approach, initial work on more than 50 recently deceased pigs provided promising results and encouraged in vivo testing.
[0047] For in vivo testing, our approach was combined with thermistors placed at different depths of the brain (5mm increments) to monitor the temperature of the tissue, and therefore monitoring such as Figure 24 The effect of circulatory cooling of aCSF as depicted in the CT scan. Brain...
