<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for selective modification and control of a patient's body temperature.SOLUTION: A therapeutic treatment system 100 has a delivery device 102 adapted to deliver a cooled breathing gas mixture to a patient and an injection device 104 positioned near a distal end of the delivery device. The injection device is coupled to a source 110 of liquid. The treatment system also includes a control system 106 coupled to the delivery device and the injection device. Alternatively, the control system is adapted to control the injection device to release a fluid into the cooled breathing gas mixture to form a frozen mist of fine ice particles in the cooled breathing gas mixture.</p> |
