A method for supporting medical practitioners in managing patient temperature includes obtaining regulatory approval to use a heat exchange catheter having a circulating working fluid in a neuro intensive care unit (NICU) to manage patient temperature. Moreover, regulatory approval is obtained to use the catheter outside the NICU for patient temperature management. The catheter can be used outside the NICU to induce therapeutic hypothermia to treat cardiac arrest, stroke, and acute myocardial infarction. Also, the catheter can be used to treat hypothermia after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
