    Abstract: A catheter is adapted to exchange heat with a body fluid, such as blood, flowing in a body conduit, such as a blood vessel. The catheter includes a shaft with a heat exchange region disposed at its distal end. This region may include hollow fibers which are adapted to receive a remotely cooled heat exchange fluid preferably flowing in a direction counter to that of the body fluid. The hollow fibers enhance the surface area of contact, as well as the mixing of both the heat exchange fluid and the body fluid. The catheter can be positioned to produce hypothermia in a selective area of the body or alternatively positioned to systemically cool the entire body system.

    Abstract translation: 导管适于与诸如血管的体导管中流动的体液(例如血液)进行热交换。 导管包括设置在其远端处具有热交换区域的轴。 该区域可以包括中空纤维,其适于接收远离冷却的热交换流体,优选地在与体液相反的方向上流动。 中空纤维增强了接触的表面积,以及两种热交换流体和体液的混合。 导管可以定位成在身体的选择性区域产生低体温,或者定位成系统地冷却整个身体系统。

    Abstract: A cooling system for an indwelling heat exchange catheter includes a heat exchange bath that is configured to receive a conduit that carries saline to and from the catheter. A heating/cooling fluid is in the bath and exchanges heat with the saline. The heating/cooling fluid flows through a heat exchanger that includes a refrigerant and two variable speed DC compressor for removing heat from the refrigerant. A gear pump circulates the working fluid to and from the catheter and is removably engaged with a pump support platform.
