  • System and method for treating brain injury
    Patent number: 11458039
    Abstract: The system includes a pump, a heat exchanger, a bladder, a thermometer, and a controller. The heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the pump. The bladder is configured to be placed over a carotid artery, and is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger. The thermometer is located with respect to the heat exchanger and configured to measure a temperature of fluid downstream from the heat exchanger. The controller is in electrical communication 28 with the thermometer and the heat exchanger. The controller is configured to 20 control power delivered to or flow through the heat exchanger such that the temperature of the fluid downstream from the heat exchanger measured by the thermometer is between 2 degrees C. and 10 degrees C. for between 10 minutes and 50 minutes.
