METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REGULATING PATIENT TEMPERATURE BY IRRIGATING THE BLADDER WITH A FLUID |
摘要 |
<p>A method and apparatus is provided for heating or cooling at least a selected portion of a patient's body. The method begins by inserting a catheter (100) through the urethra and into the bladder (11) of the patient. A heated or chilled fluid is conducted through a supply lumen (106) of the catheter and into the bladder. The fluid is evacuated from the bladder through a return lumen (108) of the catheter. Finally a quantity of urine is monitored which flows out of the bladder and through the return lumen of the catheter. The rate of fluid flowing through the supply lumen may be adjusted in a manner that is based at least in part on the monitored quantity of urine flowing out of the bladder.</p> |
