Abstract
A method and apparatus for cooling the extracranial area including the face and, optionally, also including the mandible, during emergency care of cardiac arrest or severe shock; the method is preferably implemented by means of a head cooling apparatus which includes a watertight shroud for the head and which needs no refrigeration. The head cooling apparatus contains the unreacted constituents of an endothermic reaction, such as pellets of ammonium nitrate (NH.sub.4 NO.sub.3) stored adjacent a selectively avaiable reservoir of water, and thus needs no external coolants or refrigeration. Preferably, the head-cooling apparatus comprises a portable, self-contained system which is suitable for storage, transport and/or use anywhere.
