Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for inducing selective cerebral hypothermia. The system includes a brain cooling device, a body warming device, and a control console. Brain cooling is accomplished with a ventricle catheter where cold fluid is circulated within one or both lateral ventricles. Body heating is accomplished with a central venous catheter. By combining effective brain cooling with controlled body warming, hypothermia therapy can be applied selectively to the brain thereby avoiding the serious complications associated with whole body hypothermia therapy.
