APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A TEMPERATURE OF A PATIENT

摘要

Apparatus for adapting a body temperature, connected or connectable to an infusion device, preferably configured as an infusion needle, and a further temperature adaption device comprising a heat exchanger, preferably configured as an intravascular catheter or pad comprising the heat exchanger, wherein during use the infusion device and the further temperature adaption device share a fluid circuit portion through which fluid infusible to the patient and fluid intended for heat exchange in the further temperature adaption device flow; a controller adapted to control the body temperature by controlling the infusion of the infusion device and the heat exchange of the further temperature adaption device; and/or a fluid supply providing fluid for adapting the body temperature.

1. Apparatus for adapting a body temperature (Tb), connected or connectable to an infusion device (200), preferably configured as an infusion needle, and a further temperature adaption device (300) comprising a heat exchanger (310), preferably configured as an intravascular catheter or pad comprising the heat exchanger (310), wherein during use the infusion device (200) and the further temperature adaption device (300) share:
a fluid circuit portion (700) through which fluid infusible to the patient and fluid intended for heat exchange in the further temperature adaption device (300) flow; a controller (100) adapted to control the body temperature (Tb) by controlling the infusion of the infusion device (200) and the heat exchange of the further temperature adaption device (300); and/or a fluid supply (400) providing fluid for adapting the body temperature, wherein the controller (100) is adapted to control the body temperature (Tb) by simultaneously controlling the infusion with the infusion device (200) and the heat exchange with the further temperature adaption device (300).
