ABSTRACT:
A system for exchanging heat with the body of a patient for cooling or warming the patient provides for automatic temperature control in accordance with the monitored temperature of the patient. The system comprises at least one fluid circuit in communication with an indwelling catheter, and a temperature control module, wherein body temperature measurements are used to control the temperature of fluid circulating within the fluid circuit.
