    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling the internal body temperature of a patient. According to the present invention, a catheter is inserted through an incision into a large blood vessel of a patient. By selectively heating or cooling a portion of the catheter lying within the blood vessel, heat may be transferred to or from blood flowing within the vessel and the patient's body temperature may thereby be increased or decreased as desired. The invention will find use in treating undesirable conditions of hypothermia and hyperthermia, or for inducing a condition of artificial hypothermia when desired. The method and system further provide for the cooling of initially hypothermic patients whose blood or body temperature has been warmed above the desired target level and the warming of initially hyperthermic patients whose blood or body temperature has been cooled below the desired target temperature.

    Abstract translation: 本发明提供一种用于控制患者体内温度的方法和装置。 根据本发明,通过切口将导管插入患者的大血管中。 通过选择性地加热或冷却位于血管内的导管的一部分,热量可以转移到血管内流动的血液或从血液中流出的血液转移,并且因此可以根据需要增加或减少患者体温。 本发明将用于治疗不合需要的低温和高热症状况,或者在需要时诱发人为低温的病症。 该方法和系统进一步提供对血液或体温已经升高到所需目标水平以上的初始低温患者的冷却,以及血液或体温已经冷却到期望目标温度以下的初始高热患者的升温。
