INDWELLING HEAT EXCHANGE CATHETER AND METHOD OF USING SAME |
摘要 |
<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/><br/>A catheter is adapted to exchange heat with a body fluid, such as blood, <br/>flowing in a <br/>body conduit, such as a blood vessel. The catheter includes a shaft with a <br/>heat <br/>exchange region disposed at its distal end. This region may include hollow <br/>fibers <br/>which are adapted to receive a remotely cooled heat exchange fluid preferably <br/>flowing in a direction counter to that of the body fluid. The hollow fibers <br/>enhance the <br/>surface area of contact, as well as the mixing of both the heat exchange fluid <br/>and the <br/>body fluid. The catheter can be positioned to produce hypothermia in a <br/>selective area <br/>of the body or alternatively positioned to systemically cool the entire body <br/>system.<br/>
