ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a method for treating brain and associated nervous tissue injury. The invention also discloses a method for preserving organs in brain-dead humans or cadavers which allows additional time for the organs to remain viable such that they may be harvested for subsequent transplantation. Also disclosed is a method for organ preservation which employs body cavity perfusion. The methods include the introduction of temperature-controlled solutions to slow the metabolism of the brain, associated nervous tissue or organ(s) to inhibit degeneration thereof. A device which performs these methods is also disclosed. The device includes a fluid reservoir, an oxygen source, a heat exchanger and removable catheter lines.
